How long did your battery last?

I've seen multiple posts by folks discussing which battery is best. So how long do your batteries last and what kind were they?

I replaced my battery several months after I got the car with a Diehard. It lasted from 9/06 until 1/9/09. I replaced that Diehard with another Diehard.

The second Diehard went under yesterday, almost exactly 3 years later (1/9/12). I just replaced it with another Diehard. So I'm getting about 3 years out of the Diehards.

How about you?
