Don't forget that a newly delivered battery will not have a full charge. Best to give it a full charge on the bench before you use it. Then use an Accumate to keep it topped up.
My 6v Exide, in the RP has now been giving excellent service since 2013. A direct earth to the engine is a worthwhile investment, with an isolator.
Edgar, have you checked that the dynamo output on your car isn't too high? A battery really shouldn't shrug off it's mortal coil after a year unless it's either been left flat or over charged and boiled dry.
