House Battery - Should they last more than a year?
I have owned my SMB since 2004. On average, I have had to replace the Series 27 AGM house battery every 18 months. The specs on the batteries are the same but the labels are different (Sears/NAPA/Bass Pro/etc). I replaced the house battery last August. It was a NAPA product. I took the battery back to NAPA today. It had a 3 month full replacement warranty and a three year pro rated warranty. What that means is that I will be paying around $100 each time a battery dies. As utilities go that is pretty cheap but I don't want to be forced to cough up $100 to replace a defective battery.
1) How long are your house batteries lasting?
2) What brands seem to last longer?
3) Is there a practical alternative to the Series 27 battery?
