According to the USA sites ... Duracell started to produce a "specalist" Vehicle/RV/Marine battery in December 2009.

There is no mention of a 25 year warranty anywhere that I can find.

Anywhere.

You must be mistaken Entwood, Rustys battery is 25 years old, so that battery must have been developed in 1984. Then only made available to him...

I do wonder about some of his posts  :-/

As far as i am concerned, the only way to keep a battery in good order is to make sure that it is always fully charged and kept in a clean condition with clean terminals liberaly covered in petrolium jelly.
If the battery is more than 6/7 years old it will not be as Fresh as a new one and could be on it's way out although that is not always the case. :y
