Are we talking about a flooded battery here? If so, what's this 'no maintenance' stuff?
I've had my Outback for over 3 years now and still using the original battery. I checked the acid levels in the battery the day I brought it home from the dealer. It was good.
The trailer has been plugged into shore power for 24x7x365, Summer, Winter, all year, except when actually on the road traveling. We don't dry camp, we always have electric hook-ups.
In the Spring of the first and second year, I check the battery acid level. No change either year. I checked the battery level again, (about a week ago), and after more than 4 years now, I added one ounce ... really ... one ounce of water to each cell.
I call that a trouble free, maintenance free battery! Always charged, and periodically test it by unplugging shore power to make sure the inside house lights don't dim.
