This is my 6th winter and the other day it completely didn't start and I had to boost it. I also hadn't driven it in a few days so that might have been a factor too. Anyway I'll see how it treats me for the rest of the winter otherwise I'll just replace it.

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?
