Actually the RACQ guy said that the biggest issue is driving without being fully charged. Most city driving results in a battery only 80% charged apparently. This reduces the life considerably.

He suggested every 3months putting the battery on the smart charger overnight. I'll try this in future.

That said, the warranty on the new battery is 3 years now.
