Dead Battery

My 2000 9-5 with 2.3t engine was towed to the shop this morning after refusing to start. I had already driven 45 miles this morning before the problem ocurred. The Service Rep at the not-quite-local Saab dealership had two questions for me. 1) Is it the original battery?(yes), and 2) Is the battery white? Apparently the white batteries are prone to faliure at only 2 years life. The rep also said a car had come in yesterday with a dead white battery that had exploded during an attempted jump!!! This sounds like we should all check our batteries for color, replace the white ones before 24 months, and never attempt a jump on one of these bad boys. The rep also said the Saab Interstate replacement battery has proven itself free from this problem.
