2 totally different circumstances though. The battery is only there to start the car and maintain standby electricity when the car is off. Radiator on the other hand is pretty critical to keeping the engine running good. If I had a radiator issue I'd be fixing it immediately. I actually keep a spare flushed from the salvage yard for my car at all times since it gets so hot in the summer.

Don't blame you. Dead batteries can be a big issue up here too with how cold it gets in the winter, and then a lot of people don't have very long drives (my "commute" is 3 miles away; my wife's is shorter). My wife's battery froze this winter (was still under warranty fortunately though), and had to get it replaced because it was shot. Would die overnight after having charged it all the way up with my batt charger.

Yea, Optima red top ftw. Course the real deal is in lithium-iron-phosphate.
 
Get a battery tender that has a desulfate mode to help maintain yalls crap!

I have one, before we would have to replace the battery on all our lawn equipment yearly because, well, the stuff sits for half a year un-used. Last mower battery we replaced was 4 years ago. Average age for those batteries is only 1-2 years.

Heck, we have a Walmart branded battery that's 10 years old today and still going strong, holds a steady 12.7v for several weeks and can pass a load test with fly colors.
