I wonder, if in your case (failure after 11 months) whether swapping them might have caused the failure to take longer to materialise. Another month or two and you are beyond your warranty period. In the UK, despite the 12 month warranty, if the batteries failed within say 13 or 14 months (and assuming the dealer was taking a hard line over the warranty), you may still have a chance, providing the batteries have been treated properly and not used excessively. Goods need to last a reasonable length and be fit for purpose. Is there something similar your side of the pond?
Having said that, I'd still swap them around, for the reasons Will suggests.
