Just another thought...do you have an Inverter?
I am using 4 each Trojan T105 "Golf Cart" Batteries and they have typically lasted 7 years or so. We have a Heart Combi 458 Inverter/Charger. I do not leave it on in the charge position but monitor my batteries and charge as needed because we are usually where we only have 30 Amp service or Dry-Camping. On my "antique" remote panel I can choose what amperage is coming in and typically tell it that it has 5 Amps unless charging with the generator.
I agree that the Magnum and Outback are superior today because they have much better charging regulation but my Heart is still doing it's job so "if it ain't broke"
I have read good things about the Progressive Dynamics and the only complaint that I have is that the screw that make the cable connection actually makes contact with the cable itself (could possibly damage the cable when tightening). I discussed this with them a few years ago and they stated that it was "not marine grade" and gave me a part number for one that was.
