I’ve heard it recommended every five years.

Y'all are jerks !!! LOL
I had to buy a new battery this morning for my Camaro. Wouldn't even jump ...exactly 3 yr old Interstate.
Hard to find the correct #34 size top post replacement in stock. Found one luckily at Advance...a "Silver" 660CCA

I have been using advance batteries. 4 years is it on every battery I’ve tried, except optima. I tried several only had one last a year. Flipping over priced junk.

My previous auto's batteries lasted 3 years each.
Nice of them to all go dead while at home. Last
time I couldn't believe all batteries were $100 range.
Present vehicle 5 yrs old still on oem battery. Seems
to be working fine but getting nervous since it's 2 yrs
beyond the previous 3 batts. First cold snap I did put
the trickle charger on it justin case. Thanks for the
battery brands update & video link [cross fingers here]

Early battery failure is usually a charging system failure, or possibly a voltage draw issue.

Thanks Ken, guess you refer to the three 3 year batt life car.
It was stock as built by manufacturer so no electrical mods.
Not saying draw impossible but not very likely.
One funny thing about it was I had won Cash 3 .50 straight
just before (both) the last two went dead. So kind of like
'fate' knew I was going to need battery money. Only 2 times
I won anything other than a free ticket. Talk about Deja Vu.

Camaro with dead battery is worse than most because it’s located
in the trunk. Can’t open the trunk when battery is dead. Have to climb through back seat to pull the trunk release. Also a Camaro can lock in the ignition key when battery dies.
