1. Interstate 12 volt DEEP Cycle RV batteries have a 1 year no questions asked free replacement. PERIOD
2. It is up to the Retailers to verify the failure and Interstate trusts them to do that. Boiling out 1 cell would not be a customer caused issue. When batteries boil from time or failure, they usually boil all 6 evenly, until the plates are exposed and then there will be a difference
3. The poster that stated he(dealer) dropped Interstate because of problems. Don't believe a word of his story
4. We have sold Interstate for 30 years and yes, you get the occasional failure. ALL products will have failures. But, I have and all others at the Dealership have Interstate's in their personnel vehicles when they needed replacement and I would never have another brand battery
5. I will doublecheck, by my understanding of Interstate 6 volt deep cycle batteries are 6 months warranty.
6. Check other brands, but Interstate will replace ALL batteries in a battery bank if just one fails under warranty.
7. RV batteries will last almost forever, IF YOU MAINTAIN THEM ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
8. Very few People maintain their RV batteries as required and when they fail, they blame everyone else except themselves. Doug
