Thanks for the hint about the ABS connectors.
As far as battery life goes, usually 5 years is long enough. Expect potential problems after that.
I have found that around 9.5V, the starter will not work. All else LOOKS normal, just a click from the starter solenoid. While the car is running with the headlights on and the alternator suppling 14+ volts to a battery with a bad cell, you may be over using the alternator and the voltage regulator may begin to get damaged. When the battery is 5 years old, just trade it in for a new one.
