Re: How long does a battery last? More than 10 years?
I live in Ohio and the bat for my 96 Civic 2dr EX was over 9 years old..I
replaced it by choice not because it was dead.

We live in the Houston area, and have our Honda and Nissan service
departments replace the OEM batteries in our '88 Accord and '95 Maxima every
two years as a matter of owner-mandated 'routine' maintenance. What I lose
on pro-rated battery replacement under warranty I recover by avoiding road
(or, more usually, garage) service expenses. The optimum (minimum cost)
replacement interval for both cars worked out to be two years.
