The thing to remember about batteries is that it is not unusual to get a much better battery aftermarket that what comes in the vehicle.  Factor in the 'manufactured' date will always be older than the vehicle, and the fact that is is not uncommon to put slight blemishes into new vehicles it is easy to see why they fail what may be considered 'early'.  I happen to know as a fact that Mercedes spends around $11 million a year replacing batteries in vehicles, that haven't even been sold yet.
