VMAX Charge Tank Battery Reviews?
I need to replace my 2 Deka G31 12v AGM batteries and I've found this brand on Ebay. Reviews on Amazon are good but there aren't a lot of them. I'm aware of the typical favorites like Trojan and I'm n...

Still going, vs still going strong.
One requires No data, experience or knowledge, only pride and ego and ignorance,
The other requires only Data, for points of comparison
YOur rope comment only proves my point about a fragile ego, even though my nimrod comment was directed at battery neophytes on Automotive forums.
Haw haw.
Glad your batteries are still working, but without offering any information on how they've been used, about how many cycles over the subsequent years, and to what depth of discharge, even as a round guestimate, your 'still going strong' report, is basically worthless.
I too saw when these batteries came on the market years ago and wondered about their quality, and your report nearly 6 years later satisfies none of my curiosity.
So give a guesstimate, how many cycles did they accumulate in those 6 years, and to what depth?
My last AGM battery lasted 6 years, but it accumulated well over 1200 deep cycles, about 100 of those well below 50% and many thousands of engine starts and cycles to 90% or higher are not counted towards that ~1200 figure.
I had a nimrod on an automotive based forum say he gets 6 years out of his starting battery for 1/5th the price, implying I am an idiot for having an expensive AGM battery I insure reaches full charge regularly, and he could not seem to realize there is a difference when one is cycled deeply, providing hundreds of KWH over its life, and the other likely never passes 1KWH.
A battery owner on an rv forum is expected to give some information on how the batteries are cycled, you provided NONE just a 'still going strong' claim with Zero evidence that they are still indeed strong.
