Besides the degenerative process of sulfation which occurs on 84% of lead acid batteries, there are other contributing factors you should know when buying a battery as well as maintaining one that directly affect the life span of your battery.
The quality and brand of the battery.
Usually costlier batteries last longer as there is more lead in the batteries.
Some brands below RM100 are cheap...

What happens to your car battery during winter:
The oil viscosity increases or thickens which increases the strain on the battery during cranking or when an engine is started.
The battery’s Cold Cranking Amps (the ability of a battery to start an engine) is reduced during winter.
The best way to remedy that is to get a higher CCA (cold Cranking Amp) rated battery as well as to test your...

People kill more deep cycle batteries with poor charging practices, than die of old age!
Sulfation
Lead sulfation actually starts when you remove the charging voltage a full charged lead-acid battery. The lead sulfate crystals are converted back to lead during the normal charging cycle. The real question is, if all of the lead sulfate crystals are not turned back into lead, how long does it take...

Auto start batteries are not made to be discharge below 10.5 volts. If this happens the lead sulfate formed on discharge will expand across the plates and separators and short the battery. The voltage across the terminals will measure 10.5 volts. This battery is dead and is not restorable.
Another result of low discharge of an auto start battery is the reversal in polarity of one cell. In this...
