eli5, why do batteries from the factory last so long?

142 views

Watches, key fobs, car batteries all seem to last at least 5 to 10 yrs, sometimes longer. But once they are replaced, you need to do so yearly?

Because you have to buy more batteries. Same reason why you will never see the ever lasting light bulb.

The original battery, is probably a higher quality battery. Because the manufacturer of said product, wants to sell a good product that is known to last (and probably stay functional within the warranty window)
