I've yet to read >anything saying that.What about the alternator? They fry too. Decades ago, lead acid batteries were dirt cheap, and slapping in another of those was cheaper and easier than a new alternator. Now, both the task complexity, and the price are closer together, so longevity needs to be engineered in to both in a more focussed manner. One does not see '73 Cadillac batteries in a '15 Chevy Monte Carlo. The charging gear differ too, and the watchdog charge manager on that alternator did not previously exist.
