Mine was 6 years old when the bike wouldn't start just the other week. I thought, Oh well must be the battery. So 6 battery shops later I finally found one. Fitted it and the very next day it was flat again. It turned out to be the regulator was stuffed and there was nothing wrong with the battery.
So check the reg when you think it's the battery as it's apparently a common prob with the curvies.
