Now all of my Vehicles 2015 and newer have needed the battery replaced in less then 3 years.

I average 6-8 years but always use Optimate6, Battery Tenders are junk in my experience and it matters. For a typical ZL1 owner, the car sits for extended periods with no charge then big wallop of juice to fire up a 6.2L, drive it for 20 minutes (barely gets charged from startup event) and repeat - that's tough on a battery.
