Spent $250 on a 'lifetime' battery and it died in 18 months

I bought a fancy Optima Red Top for my 2010 F-150 back in March of last year, figured I'd never have to worry about cranking amps again. Fast forward to last week and the thing barely turns over in my driveway (even after a full charge). Called Optima and they basically told me it's out of the warranty window because I bought it online, not from an authorized dealer. Has anyone else had luck with those agm batteries or am I just cursed?

Did you see that recent thread about Optima's warranty being basically useless unless you buy direct?

Wait, so buying from a third party voids the whole thing?
