Why did it work perfectly for so many years and just change?
=====================================
The new battery is probably better at accumulating a surface charge
for some reason. It reaches full charge and keeps on going until it
reaches an equilibrium with the 5 amps or so that the alternator is
supplying. The older battery may have had a lower internal
resistance, different type of plates, more leakage, more capacity,
etc. Battery life will definitely be shortened under this scenario
and you may experience premature failure of voltage sensitive
equipment.
