Battery was fully charged, installed in workshop with 60watt solar panel. Worked fine until last weekend. Paid $150 for a battery that lasted less than 6 months....All I was using it for was 2 lights that were only in use when I was in barn which is only on the weekends. Not impressed or happy....This battery was impressive for it's first month or two but after draining completely once it would never take a charge again. I thought this was supposed to be a true deep cycle battery.This battery has been going strong since I bought it in August of 2011. It has performed well, discharging slowly as power is drawn from it at night and then recharging quickly when the sun comes up the next morning. It is installed on my 26 foot travel trailer. I use a single 80 watt solar panel connected to a 30 amp solar regulator to keep the battery charged up when it is installed on the trailer, and during the winter I remove the battery from the trailer, and I connect the battery to a battery tender in my garage. I am very happy with the performance of this battery so far.
