Hi Dwight, 

Are you plugged in to shore power?   I usually get about 5 to 7 years out of flooded batteries.   I switched to trojan T105s last year.   I wanted to go with the firefly batteries but they won't fit.  I did get a pretty robust solar system set up at the same time as the new batteries so, I'm expecting the batteries will be happier.  I beat the heck out of the last one's.  They came with the boat, were not real deep cycle and the boat lives in a mooring.  So those only got charged from the engine.  Which doesn't really get that much use.  Now, i show up to fully charged batteries, and the solar charger on float, every time!  I don't really run anything when we're not on the boat.  It would be great to run the fridge full time but, I'm not comfortable enough for that yet.

Joe. My flooded group 27 lead acid batteries spend their life on my boat, usually about 10-15 years. They seem happy enough on my 35 and they meet my power needs. They are heavy like you said.

That is half the reason I am interested, hauling heavy hunks of lead around is tough on the back past a certain age, never mind the effect on the boat.
