My 2012 BMW 135i battery life was supposedly 10 years on a AGM battery. I think I got 5 out of it. I'm glad GM doesn't do like BMW and make it so you have to pay for the battery plus $150 for the battery to be "programmed" to the car for longer, better battery life BS.

OEM battery in my SS lasted one year. I stored it the first winter with a tender on it and the next spring I had starting issues that turned out to be a bad battery. I'm speculating that even with a tender on, sitting for ~5 months in the cold ruined it. That's why I take my battery inside for the winter and put on a tender. Been working good ever since.
Edit: Sorry for kind of repeating myself. I alluded to this in an earlier post, but this is "the rest of the story".
