I’ve seen and heard of a lot of lead-acid battery home inverter and desktop UPS setups in India (extremely common due to grid unreliability). Desktop UPS batteries sound to consistently be completely useless (<10% capacity, typically 0%) in 3–5 years, and the larger home inverter batteries are typically in poor shape by around 5 years.
I haven’t known any Lithium-ion batteries yet, so I have no personal figures on them. But what I’ve heard is generally more like “they said 8–10 years but it’s still fine after 12”.
