I don?t know when this changed, but the last time I bought a battery (not for the VW), warrantees changed from the former 60 to 84 months, all the way down to 24 to 36. Same prices! I asked what happened, and they just shrugged. This was at the major chains (O?Reillys, Pep Boys, Kragen, etc). I was selling the car so I didn?t care that much, but jeez, what a ripoff!
Back when they had the longer warrantees, you could count on that life, plus a month or two, but no more! It?s like they had a clock chip inside and time-released baking soda into the electrolyte!
As posted, they last longer in a VW.
