Battery life?

Is anyone else getting short battery life on his or her 9-5?
My 1999 9-5 2.3 5-spd. was manufactured in JAN 98. I purchased it in JAN 99. The factory battery died in JUL 00 (18 months, plus all the lot & transit time)--replaced under warranty.
The second battery just died, AUG 02 (25 months). The car has clocked 52K--out of warranty!
The Saab battery only has a one-year warranty. So I went for a Sears Die-Hard with much better coverage. (The local lads working there were totally awed and confused by the ignition/gearshift sequence--watch them closely!)
Anyway, it looks like I'm only getting two years out of a typical Saab battery. I know the car places high demands with its many electronics, including constant trickle use from the burglar alarm sensors, etc. Still, does this battery record really live up to the quality of the rest of the car?
