Coughing and wheezing like a sick chicken. Need juice!

hey guys...
Just spent S$166 on a new batt for my 01 95 when she refused to start last night.
There were no signs.. Starts were normal in the few days before and suddenly, the car was croaking and whining like a octagenarian. The last batt lasted for just over a year and when i asked the dude from the towing service, he said that Saab batteries have a really short life compared to BMWs and Jags because the battery is housed right next to the engine where its really really hot as opposed to being kept in the boot like the BMWs..
Im using Hoppebecker maintenance free batteries that are recommended by the agent
Did the good folks at Trolhattan make a serious design boo boo here?
I mean to have to change a batt every 14 months is ridiculous.
Does the car have way too much electronics?
What can I do to prolong the batt life?
How long do your batteries last?
What as the signs as to when its going to fail?
The car was supposedly charging the battery and yet this happened... hmm
Also, the car does a form of self test upon starting... what exactly is it checking?
Cheers and happy motoring
Mat
