[QUOTE="krawler, post: 302111, member: 5928"] I have a 4 year old group 29 Maxx that's holding just fine. More important is the battery charger. Don't use a trickle charger buy a good smart charger and your batteries will last much longer. I've seen a few post/reviews about people complaining about Walmart batteries, saying they only last a short time. I can almost guarantee you that they were using the wrong battery charger and blaming it on the battery. Use the battery but don't run it below 50% and charge it as soon as you can plug it in. Don't get lazy and say " I'll do it later". The two biggest killers of batteries; 1. Wrong charger (over or under charging) 2. Leaving it in a discharged state. This is the charger I've been using the last 4 years. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Schumacher-SpeedCharge-15-Amp-Marine-Battery-Charger/13005745 [/QUOTE]
