2 years. A heatwave in August weakened it and it died in September 2015. That is a common issue with owning turbocharged cars and it getting close to 100 degrees for most of July and August. Same thing happened with my WRX.

What does being turbocharged have to do with a battery wearing out?

At least VW saw fit to place the battery on the opposite side of the engine bay from the turbo. They also wrapped it in an insulation blanket. At least I think that's the purpose of that wrap.
