Believe it or not my boat trolling battery is from 2007 and it still works good knock on wood have no idea of the brand it was in the boat when I bought it

I second what Zimmy said about the Interstate brand. 5 years and still holding a charge on a 24V setup and they get abused a lot throughout the year. I do check the fluid about twice a year and add when needed. Typically only charge them after a trip but will leave them hooked up in maintenance mode for a week or so at a time when i know i will be fishing a lot. I have a 4 bank Minnkota charger but don't feel comfortable leaving it hooked up for extended periods.
