In general I call it quits on a battery at about 10 years old, hate to do it sometimes, but at that point they are just a problem waiting to happen at the worst possible moment.

The plates indide the battery are now closer together and more cheaply made. You might want to revise your expiry time from 5-7 years Data. I was not happy when I was informed about the change as the price did not drop but the quality sure did. Industry wide decision too so brand picking will not help us.
