I have run into the same battery quality problems here too. I have always used AC Delco batteries because of their quality but as of late I have them fail around the 30-36 month life span. I was told by a GM dealer that they are lucky to get 3 yrs out of their new car batteries. Also I have had same problem with RV batteries. Used to get 6-7 yrs battery life and now 3 yrs. For some reason battery quality has gone south on us big time. I would guess environmental regs has something to do with this??
