Batteries are kind of like tires imo. For some unknown reason both last longer for some people than for others.
I can tell you Yuasa batteries are made in several countries, and for some reason those made in Japan seem to last longer for me, than those made in Vietnam or other places. I generally get 4 years out of a Japanese Yuasa in my street bikes. The Japanese Yuasa in my quad is 10 years old , only gets started in the winter when I need to plow snow, sometimes just twice a winter, but this winter I used it 8 times and it still starts the quad. Its a mystery to me why the 10 year old battery is still functioning, when my street bikes get ridden over 300 days a year on average.
All my batteries are always on battery tender Jrs whenever they are not being ridden.
I have no experience with Lithium batteries.
