They probably should last 6-7 years, so 4 years is fairly short, but still beyond where you'd have any ability to complain and have it go anywhere.

My old C240 battery is now at 10 years & going strong. 8 years is probably average in mild climates.

it all depends on you

If u have a big engine and lots of electrical options then your battery will go out sooner
