most maintenance free batteries will die in about a year.. ive tried multiple brands from panasonic, century, yokohama, and dunno what else..all died around the 1 year to 1.5 year mark

the longest thats lasted me is Amaron.. look it up.

oh.. and also wet cell batteries if maintained properly (top up water etc) can last LONG.

I'm using Century now, but not satisfied and will never buy it again. After bought a few months, I left the car for only like 2 weeks and the battery flat already. Exchanged new from warranty and again after maybe just 6 mths, it went flat again after I left it for only 3 weeks. I don't bother to ask for exchange again coz too lazy already and I know it's just bad brand. I just jump started the car and drive to charge it.

On the other hand my other car using Yokohama, still ok even after leaving the car for 1 mth twice which is what it should be.

So based on these, I'd choose Yokohama over Century anytime, both similar prices some more (Yokohama maybe even cheaper actually!).
