EverStart Lead Acid Marine & RV Deep Cycle Battery, Group Size 27DC 12 Volt, 750 MCA*

I purchased 2 of the EverStart Deep Cycle Marine Batteries 07/30/04 at 14:15:00 (I just pulled the warranty paper off the side) for my Airstream. I pulled them out and stored them inside when I wasn't using the trailer (most winters), and kept them charged up by using a slow charger every now and then. I put them into the RV a few months ago, and just went out to work on the RV this afternoon (30 July 16), and discovered that there was no power even though there was 2 days ago. Apparently, between 2 days ago and today, one of the batteries lost its continuity and just gave up the ghost. The other battery is now charging and seems to be doing OK and I'll use it for a trolling motor, but I'm going to have to get a new pair it seems. I wish my car batteries would last as long. Maybe the heat got it since it's been really hot lately.

I bought this battery in June 2015 for my Airstream Travel Trailer. I attempted to use my camper this year and the battery was dead. I plugged my camper in each month and charged the battery over night, since it was installed. The battery looks new and as if it came off the shelf. I removed the battery thinking my camper charging system could be bad but after I placed this on a regular charger I found it is a bad battery. I dont think I will ever buy another battery made by EverStart or one sold through Walmart since a year warranty is just not enough for the price. I will pay $20 more and get a better warrantied battery. 14 months is not long for a $90 battery to last and get to use it twice. I would not recommend any of my friends to buy a Walmart battery like this.

Battery case different now than previous years. Labels don't say johnson controls anymore and the circular date code sticker changed from numbers to letters to represent the month. But, the case being different isn't a big deal. The big deal is the case appears to be leaking around the top edges. Not around the refill caps on the top, but about a quarter inch down over the side where the entire top surface is joined to the "bucket" portion. It weeps a bit of clear fluid that seems as if it would be acid. I wipe it off and more reappears the next day even when stored inside. Especially shows up when traveling. Don't know if I should he concerned as the battery is working at the moment. Also, the amp hour ratings are less than the previous 27dc. They used to rate them at 1amp discharge rate which gave a larger than typical AH rating. Now it is rated at the more standard higher discharge rate which gives a lower rating, but this would be true regardless of construction. Even alkaline batteries vary in ratings depending on actual sped of discharge.

Greetings, We bought 6 of these batteries about 8 yrs ago and each one of them still holds a charge at 13.56 Volts. We use them with our Solar and Wind Generator setups and have never had a problem with these batteries. I've had them as low as 11.2 volts and they have always charged back up to 13.56 volts or higher, have even had them up to 14.2 volts in high winds. Will definitely be buying more of these for our Solar/Wind Setup.

I purchased 2 of these at the same time almost 2 years ago and I have an on board charger and kept them plugged in year round as everything I have read states to do. I actually took the boat out one time and maybe used an hour on the 24 volt trolling motor which is all these batteries were for. One will not hold a charge and the other is weak. I'm thinking about replacing with the Duracell's at Sams but they have worse ratings than these. Any suggestions out there for a good deep cycle that is rarely used.
