Many batteries only last 4 or 5 years. Purchase a new one next season and a 24 should be fine for you. The last interstate battery I bought died after 4 years, so I think the brand is a **** shoot. An old friend of mine buys a new battery after 5 years because he doesn't want to deal with battery failure. I think he has a point.

I think your friend is spot on, 5 years is about it for any deep cycle 12 volt battery. I replace my truck batteries after 5 years as well. I bought 5 new batteries this year.
I have one trailer that has 2 six volt golf cart batteries and I replace those at 10 years.
