How long do we want batteries to last ?
IMO, and IME, nothing is simpler to maintain than LA RV batteries. When connected to a decent charger, and watered once...maybe twice a year, and maybe hosed off once in a while, they last an easy 8-1...

According to most everyone here my oem converter should have killed my battery a long time ago because of over charging,etc. with it plugged in 24/7. I also manage to completely discharge it at least twice a year by forgetting to plug it back in after mowing the yard. Like in two days later with the frig on(hard on what little is in it). JME.
That's more my style too. And that's exactly why I am a 6v golf cart battery convert. My experience is that they are much more tolerant of that kind of treatment than the old group 24/27s. They haven't needed water as often and have lasted at least 7 years vs about 2 years for the 12v.
