I've had My MV6 4 years now. No idea what brand of battery. But I've been doing lots of miles until March. Then it sat at the end of the road. I didn't touch it due to wfh and furlough until August.
Jumping it off my wifes Astra didn't get it started, but via this very site, and especially thanks to Omegod, the crank sensor was replaced. I jumped it off the Astra and moved it onto the drive. I charged up the battery for a day, and it started. But the next day it wouldn't start. I charged it up again, for about 8 hours and then again the next couple of days. I was expecting to have to get a new one, but it's been fine ever since. Mostly very short journeys too. A few long will get ones but the last 6 weeks I've driven about 6 miles a week.
