Wow!! 7 year warranty on a battery!! You guys are lucky.
Down here we are lucky to get 2 years. If you dont abuse them they last 3 or 4 years.
We have some indi's selling battery's made in Fiji, they are like Indian injector nozzles. The battery case size for a MB makes them more expensive here, they are a European spec, The cheaper alternates are N70 and 86 case sizes, they dont fit well though.
As a simple rule, I have heard, the heavier the battery, the more lead in it, so the longer it lasts (assuming the build quality is there).
