    That 100 month guarantee means the same thing as when it is printed on a
    die-hard or some other brand. That's the length of time they will pro-rate
    the price of the replacement when it fails.

    While 100 months (8+ years!) would be nice, 3-4 years in MD is less than
    I get in upstate NY where my batteries typically last 6-7 years. I'd
    expect them to last a year or two longer in MD. If you still have that
    car, you might want to check to make sure your charging system is up to
    snuff.

    I'm a little late in my reply here but I used to live in NY and I
    think I got about 4 to 5 years typical lifespan. I now live in Texas
    and 3 yrs is the norm, 4 if you are lucky and 5 is on borrowed time.
    Also to the OP, some auto parts stores will test your battery for you
    free. I know they do this in Texas because I once had it done for
    free. I agree with others, likely 5 year old battery might need to
    be replace. Of course the first thing I'd check is the connections
    to the battery to see if they are tight and not corroded but even so,
    5 year old battery is probably not worth keeping especially if the
    mechanic said so.
