In Japan, new car owners mostly complain about battery failure. Average car in Japan is only driven 13 kms/day (8 miles) and mostly in congested cities. This causes half charged batteries and thus sulfation occurs. If you drive your car once or twice a week this may also cause battery failure. Some other driving habits that cause battery failure are engine shut off, excessive stop, driving with heavy electrical demands (rear window defogger, AC or music system on), excessive idling with heavy electrical demands, etc.
