Myself I usually get 5-6 years on an AGM battery on all my vehicles EXCEPT the BRZ. It seems to need a new battery every three years.

I have a 2013 Sport tech BRZ. In 2016, the factory Panasonic battery couldn't start the car in the cold. So I replaced it with an AGM battery. This morning.....that battery started the BRZ but just barely. Time for a new one again.
You guys out there have a similar experience?
Running on about 5 years so far on stock battery for my FRS with no issues. I guess I'm spoiled with my California weather.

Could be due to harsh weather conditions, alternator, or maybe starter?

Hopefully others can chime in on the issue.
