If you ask for a battery price from the dealer, ask what brand it is as well. Interstate and Bosch are very good battery brands - maybe as good as Panasonic. I'm sure the manufacturers know how well their batteries are doing by their warranty claim rate and car manufacturers might know well batteries last.

But I've had conventional flooded batteries last 8 years in other vehicles. I used to think that all reports of very short lives were just because they were dropped into vehicles without charging systems designed to not over charge them as they contain a lot less excess water and can't be refilled, but I've never read anything with real life data indicating that they actually last longer in the field like their advertising claims. There was a thread on E90 post talking about how great the Everstart H8 was, but I think people were reporting lives between 3 and 8 years. They also pointed out that batteries perform differently in 'North' or 'South' varieties, being built differently for different climates. NAPA batteries were similar with the Group 35 coming in 5 out of 12, but the Group 75 coming in 13 out of 13. Everstarts rated higher than either in their 2011 (outdated) review. For instance, a Group 75 Interstate was ranked 5 out of 11 and a recommended buy, but a Group 35 Interstate came in 11 out of 12. Consumer Reports have indicated that just because one size of battery from a specific manufacturer was good, that doesn't indicate the quality (as they measure it) of a different size battery from the same manufacturer is similar.
