2011 keystone, whats the usual life of a battery? I am usually plugged in
It has nothing to do with how long yours will last.
There are too many variables in how each of us uses a battery for such a survey to have any meaning.
You will do better or worse than those that respond. Maybe by a LOT.
Now a different question may have some value.
Asking someone that has used different types of batteries what their lifespan was with each type.. That can have some value unless they changed their usage when they changed type.
As an example: I have never gotten more than 2 years out of a standard marine/starting battery. Going to Golf cart 6 volts increased that to over 5 years.. Not sure just how long they will go for me. I have never actually had any fail yet. One set was exposed to the AZ sun, and the caps disintegrated at 5 years, and the next set was sold with the TT. My current set is about 2 years old.
This testimony has no value as for what your actual lifespan will be with batteries like I just spoke of,,, but COULD have some bearing on which of the types would last the longest for you.
