It did last 3 yrs, 6 mos., so no complaints. Must make a note to change it out before the next one craps out in 3yrs or so.
I had forgotten how many screws are involved in removing the desk top and panel to get to the "Black Hole of Calcutta" (shown below) where the battery is located. I found that the battery hold-down screw had loosen and I would guess the battery had be moving around which may or may not have hastened its demise.

I was reading on a battery manufacture website and I don't remember which one that not to get the most cranking amps in a battery because they don't last as long. Do you ever notice when you buy a car the first battery lasts 7 to 10 years and that 850 CCA battery only makes around 3 years. They said something about the number of plates crammed into a small place and less electrolyte
