My '05 S80 will be in service 6 years next week. I'm still on the original battery. I think that with the battery being in the trunk it is well shielded from the engine bay heat and prolongs its life. Or are the OEM batteries just so superior to aftermarket?

Question then is how much longer do I chance it on this battery? I live in the Midwest and the car is garaged at night, but spends its days on a lot during business hours. 67,000 miles on it.
