If the GC2 is poorly maintained there is a good chance it will fail at 13 to 18 months. Generally you will easily get 8+ years if maintained properly.
Proper maintenance (regular water checks) is the key.
In my camper it was pretty much impossible to check the water in the batteries until the camper was off the truck and all cables disconnected and batteries removed from the sliding batter tray.
Because my camper stayed on the truck all summer, water checks only happened once a year.
Because I have an inverter/charger, the batteries gassed more when charging, losing water.
I killed the batteries due to poor maintenance.
This was my solution to the problem.
