I just bought my second Sears Die-hard International series.  The first one
lasted six years with no problems.  It died a quick death, too.  I used it
moderately heavy during camping.  light & radio on for one or two hours a
night.  Up to 4 nights without starting.

It started the Subaru with the stock starter for almost two years.  KEP
recommends a later starter with higher torque.
