Then they say, "Your battery is old, not intended to last longer than X years, a consumable, and thus not covered by warranty." Then they show you the warranty demonstrating this.

The correct answer is not, however to lie about driving habits and try to sleaze their way out of it. If they truly didn't expect the battery to last 4 years (3.5, really), then they'd say that, and the warranty would reflect it.

Also, I've seen various places that any ol' battery won't do, it needs to be registered, which means a trip to the dealership. I haven't verified this.
