[QUOTE="hipster dufus, post: 302282, member: 2352"] have 2 i bought in feb 07. everstart maxx 31. still going strong. charhe right after use with a smart charger. check periodically and fill cells with distilled water. only have filled 2x in 5 yrs. worth every penny. also remember there are walmarts everywhere! u can be on a trip and not worry about where to get a replacement. all that being said i think in my case 5 yrs is really pushing it and will monitor a little more frequently this yr. i take my multimeter on trips this yr and check condition after a few hrs, so far i have maintained a 12.6 volt reading after about 2 hrs. i realize the meter does not really give a good indication of battery life. but i have found that iuf u get down to 12.3 or less quickly ur batt is about dead.
