Hi,
I wonder, after all that trouble how much longer OP's batteries last?
I usually replace my car battery on or about 5 year mark.

My last was a 2-year battery that worked reliably for 13. As it was
being discarded when I picked it up, I was surprised.

I started checking batteries not to extend their lives but to avoid
trouble, like being unable to start a tractor 1/4 mile from any road.
