About a year previous to replacing it (got a Optima Red top), I had left on the dome light over one late Fall night (so it was on a solid 12 hours), so that drastically drained the battery. I was able to revive it(charged it over 8-10 hours), and it lasted about 12-14 months past that point.

Yea things have changed, the panasonic battery in our cars is trash, and is under powered for the car honestly. Well known to become a problem on the BR-Zs with more active electronics when the car is off at 4 years. On my FR-S I've already replaced it, on my friends 2014 it got replaced after only 3 years. It's simply not the right size for our cars and the quality is crap.
