[A4] life of the stock OEM battery

[Stephen Lau]

I woke up this morning to a dead battery... I checked all my switches 
and as far as I can tell, I didn't leave anything on this weekend.  AAA 
jumpstarted my battery, and the guy recommended I get a new battery.  My 
car is a 2001 (purchased in August of 2000), so the battery is a good 5 
years old.  Is this a reasonable time to get a new battery?  (I've no 
idea what the normal lifespan is for a car battery)

cheers,
steve
