Dead Battery !

Had a battery in the car die in the gararge, so I called the dealer and they came, checked the battery and installed the new battery. I was surprised that there was no charge for coming out. Cost of the new battery, auto brand, was no more than any other. In a few days I recieved a call from the service advisor asking me how since this was the original battery, do I get 17 years on a battery. Incidentally I have a 2009 car with the original battery which is put on a battery minder in th winter when we are away. this car has a second battery n the trunk which is run down when we retur and then driving the car for an hour or two has it completely charged. I have had problems with Interstate. In the past used Sears Diehard which were hard to kill. Soon I think I will need a new battery for the boat so decision making time will come.
