I don't expect it to last forever and I would not be terribly upset if it died tomorrow. Something contributed to the battery lasting at least 8 years so far and the only thing I can see that would have kept it that long was the battery tender. I would not recommend a battery tender for a daily driver but IMO it is a good idea for any vehicle that sees infrequent use.
Agreed. Our Camaro battery is 5+ years old as well and sits on a battery tender from March - November, then goes to offsite storage and the battery is shut off.
