3 years is a shocker. I was getting 2yrs from the factory battery, prob 7-8yrs from an Optima and probably 10-12 years from Lifeline.

Recent CAT batteries I have purchased have 5 year pro rata warranties which suits me.
D2 does 10k kms/yr mostly short trips 5 to 30kms
Would have thought a so called quality battery would have lasted more than 3 months past the 3 year warranty.
I agree 3 years is not acceptable.
I've got a CAT starting/deep cycle. It's less than 2 years old and is not holding charge but starts the Td5 as it is used most days and gets some charging.
I've had it in to CAT once and they tested it as OK although RACV report showed it should be replaced. I'm also not happy with this and will take it back to them before the 2 year replacement warranty runs out and get another 3rd party test.
The original battery from the new car was replaced at about 6 years with another OEM which went another nearly 6 years, were they Delco brand or something?
