Climate has a big impact on batteries... We're lucky to get 3 summers out of them here (they never die during the beautiful months we call winter).
My E46 had its battery die within a month of moving back to AZ -- the car was about 3 1/4 years at the time. It was mid Sept -- and probably ~105 or so high that day. The MINI battery lasted a little over 4 years -- and it also died on a hot Sept day...
