Battery that is
The original was changed at 14 months old and that replacement made it to now so was better than the first, so will get a new one Monday/Tuesday.
Even though I keep it periodically conditionally charged I guess they just last better if the car is actually run.

I think that's true Kate. A battery that's stood idle, especially through the winter will not last very long.
One of my sons has a 2002 Corsa (excuse my language ). It's still on the original Vauhall (excuse me again) battey. The car's done about 120k miles.

BTW, are you going to Castle Combe this year?

yep
The battery is regularly on a trickle charger so it did last pretty well to now over 13 years so I guess I can't complain.
