Default new battery - about 5yrs

Just replaced the battery in our 2001 Grand Cherokee.
So, the orig battery was 2001, then replaced at 2006, now again at 2012.

This would imply a general life of about 5 or 6 years.

Since I was stranded in a Home Depot parking lot,
and had a really hard time jumping the battery
and then keeping the engine from stalling out... for some reason...

Would it be better to be pro-active and just replace batteries every 5
years,
or wait for the eventual internal failure and being stranded... even with
always having jumper cables
