Default Battery Question

I mentioned it in my post this morning,but I want to know what happened to it.

It has been startin the 110 just fine till last Friday,Friday nite I put it on a battery tender all nite and it would only "CLICK".I had to use jumper cables from my A.C. 300 to start it.(I was determined that was'nt gonna stop me and my sons first trail ride together,we had fun.)

I bought that battery at Advance Auto to replace the junk stock,but its made in China also.It was ONLY 5 days out of warranty(3 months),but the guy exchanged it.

Am I to expect 3 months use out of this one,or was that one a bad battery?

I'ld like to get at least 2 years use out of it.

What other brands have you guys used and got good sevice?

Is the $40-$50 batteries better than the $20-$30 ones?

Yes it does have some lites,amber for charging,green for charged,and red for something gone wrong.
Its Schumaker,but I didnt have it plugged in all the time,I may have to though,or at least one ATV for a week then the other.
I put a meter on before I took it back and it read 13.2 volts,that what I dont understand,like it didnt have any cranking amps.
