I own a Duralast Silver type 34 that I purchased used in 1998. I use a battery charger
about occasionaly on it. The vehicle ( 1993 Mustang) is garaged. I am not sure how old the battery
was in 1998...I am guessing a year or two. So the battery is 11 or 12 years old.
Wow! Usually I get 5 or 6 years from a battery. The battery in our 2004 Limited
is the original Mopar battery.

Interesting thread.

I am still running the original battery in my jeep so it will be 5 years old in May. It still tests good. Not sure what I will replace it with yet.

Every Year in the fall (before winter) charge it first, and take my vehicles in for a load test.
This way you know if you are good to go through the colder months.
I would go with a Odyssey PC-1500 dual post AGM style. With gobs of cranking power, your headlights might not dim, when you use the power windows....LOL.
The stock (replaced) Chrysler battery that came with my KJ works ok but really 630 CCA /110 min, reserve, don't expect to leave your stereo on for hours, with Jeep off.
You get what you pay for. The PC-1500 880 CCA-135min reserve, would be an awesome replacement to pick things up quite a bit and last a long time hopefully,4 years warranty for PC-1500 automotive use. Note AGM type charger's are required.
