Just replaced my battery at 38,000 miles.
So the current life for the battery is 3 years, since my Passat is 2012. I think it's on low side. I live in warm climate, N.VA.
I was expecting little longer. I think one part of the short life is the DPF filter cycles, many times I don't have time to wait when cleaning cycle is over, so I run for few minutes on parking lot than turn off the engine, but fan is still running, that is maybe killing the battery.
