Wow, how lucky have you been
Mine have lasted 3 years on average (although guilty of buying cheap ones!). Mine doesn't get used through winter, and sits in the garage on an optimate. The battery has died, on each occaision, becuase I forgot to plug the optimate in :o , and when I remembered the damage was done. Cold weather and a Meta alarm does not a happy battery make. I reckon MM's lack of decent charging run on the commute, combined with the various drains we've discussed, may have left him in a similar situation.
MM, dont let this waffle distract from your fault finding :lol got to get that sorted, or any potential new battery will go the same way!
