Optima battery

I have Optima Red Tops in all 3 of my 6 volt Packards. Got tired of hunting for E3H batteries and having them only last 2 years or so. The first one I bought went in the '47 and it was installed 1/7/11. It has apparently failed following a night time cruise over the weekend. I have heard some say they have gotten nearly 10 years and since this one is just a few months short of 7 years. I guess I should be happy. Is this about average?
