Rear Lamp light questions.

Bosch Battery life - 5 years?
According to the manufacuring code, my Varta battery is 10 years old next month. Hasn't given a hint of trouble. It's regularly had long periods of discharge (2/3 months) and never failed to start the car. Stop/start has never been a problem. It's just pure luck with batteries.
