joelyn is 100% correct. One of the few allowable uses for gelled batteries is to power emergency exit lighting where they batteries sit for years then are slightly discharged during a power failure then immediately recharged with a charger designed for gel.
In that capacity, I have seen gel batteries last 10+ years.
I have seen five hundred dollar 8-D gel batteries last less than a year on cruising sailboats even following recommended recharge protocol. They just are not appropriate for RVs or yachts. But for dedicated starting batteries that are custom isolated and maintained.
