$450 per year / 12 months = $37 mo.
Close enough for government work.
As pointed out above though, a battery degrades due to age too, so it doesn't perfectly translate into extra years of driving.
If you don't trust my math, run the 2 scenarios through Edmunds to see what they think the mileage is worth.
