I did find one for as low as 150 but, 180 is quite common.
The one in my basement has been running for 7-9 years. If you are only getting 2 years from one then something is terribly wrong. I don't know what your basement is like but, I have found that the ones with a filter work better. It is not a great filter but, it seems to do the trick. I bet your problem is just that your De-humidifiers are getting dirty. I bet you are junking out perfectly good units that only need to be taken apart and cleaned.
Or, maybe you are just really un-lucky.
They are all built in China and that means built quite poorly.
People who only get 2 years out of a dehumidifier probably also only get 2 years out of their deep cycle batteries. And for the very same reason you described! Lack of care and lack of maintenance.
