Purchased our 5th wheel new in July 2012. During the past winter I disconnected the cables from the battery. Went out for a weekend in March and battery was OK. Since then I have tried to charge at home but it will not keep a charge. I have not had the battery checked.
If my battery is dead it only lasted 20 months. Is this normal for an RV battery or could I have done something to cause a shorter life?

We bought our new 2012 fw in August of last year (2013). A couple of months ago, the battery would not hold a charge. Since it had a 12 month free replacement warranty, I called a local dealer for the battery and the guy says to bring it in. I take the battery to him and he takes one look at it and says that it was made in December of 2010 and couldn't do anything for me, it was just too old. Since I had to get a battery I went to another dealer and bought a different make of battery. I also contacted the original battery company (Deka) and explained the situation. I provided proof of when I bought the trailer and yesterday I get a check from them for the replacement cost of the competitors battery. Kudos to them

Have to partly disagree Buckeye. Yes, heat kills but an untended battery in sub-freezing temps will have loss of life as well. Keep a trickle charge on it if exposed to freezing temps.
