152K is very good but what's the volts when not connected to a charger? The charger will deliver up to 14.7V but will the battery retain it.

With that high mileage you must be using it as a daily and keeping it well topped up. My first battery lasted 10 years and the most recent just 6 years as it had shorter journeys. It's also been kept outside so low temperatures in winter is not so good. At 0°C it loses 35 percent and starting can take 200% more energy according to one website.

PS Just looked up 12V 100Ah Smart Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery. Cost????? guess and page down...



















£800!
 
The original link is as below but the discount code was POPUPOCT20 which suggests it only applies to orders in October. You could try changing it to POPUPNOV20 and see if it gets accepted. Otherwise its £95


Alternatively this link has them at £89
