In my experience batteries go from "works fine" to "won't hold a charge/start
the car" very quickly without much warning. That's mostly with conventional
batteries though, I don't have much experience with AGM batteries.

But very slowly. The battery is under the front passenger seat so it does
not get exposed to corrosive atmospheric conditions. It might Linger on
indefinitely.

It still has the original battery with the date stamped on it from the
factory. It's now 9 years old and working fine, except that Eco start works
only sporadically and the rear hatch doesn't open fully in the morning
after the car has been sitting overnight.

Yes. Interstate manufactured in Deutschland. If it has a problem, walk in, set
it down, say it’s dead, and in 5min you’re out with a new one. Did that a
couple weeks ago.

I’m pretty sure anything from Costco is OK, and our resident Costco guru,
Floyd, will probably concur. I would buy a battery from Costco - full
disclosure, I’m a member.
