2 years. AGM Mopar reproduction battery. Never again unless they want to cover it for some reasonable period of time. Car wasn't even a trailer queen and garaged too.
Don't judge all AGM batteries by the Mopar restoration ones. I ordered a restoration Mopar AGM battery from New Castle back in 2004 soon after they were introduced. I had been using Orbital batteries in my daily drivers and really liked the “no acid mess” feature of the new AGM technology. New Castle’s battery appeared to be the best of both worlds – vintage appearance with sealed AGM internals. It's a long story, but I agree with your statement "never again". Which is really unfortunate because those restoration AGM Mopar batteries are an awesome idea.
One word of advice - if you do go the AGM route, be sure to purchase a battery charger specifically designed to charge AGM batteries. Schumacher, for example, sells them. AGM batteries require a slightly higher charging voltage than traditional batteries.
