Bad earthing is a killer every time. Was having issues with head light globes popping and sluggy starting on my BF. Extra earth strap from chassis to negative terminal - sorted. Made a surprising difference.
Last century in BF lasted 5.5 years. Replaced this year.
Never touched, maintained or trickle charged - noting.
5.5 years on a 67EF MF with E-gas hard cold starting and ignition - can't complain.
XR8 - 4 years and going strong.
Century quality hasn't dropped at all.
Check your earthing.

I actually forgot about this.
Yeah, on the advice of Silver Ghia I did put a second earth strap on the FG and while I can't comment on the battery life, it did make a difference to starting and headlights.
Having said that, I have also put a second strap on the AU XR8 and XR6. Both of my recent batteries have been disappointing.
