It is a little known fact that no lead-acid battery "likes" to be on a constant trickle charge for weeks on end. Connect your trickle charger to a cheap mechanical lamp timer and set it to run the charger 1-2 per day.

If possible, find someplace to store your batteries <80F. Outside or in a garage in AZ is too hot.

Thanks Wiz!

I did WM deep cycle marine parallel for Cat C-7, works fine, will do the same when the four six volt go bad.

could be. most likely the last five years or more they would have pretty much useless as far as lasting more than a hour two when off shore power or being charged

I went 14 years on the original equipment battery in my E150.

I did clean and water it (yes, it was a maintenance free battery) about once ever 12-18 months.

Last set I bought at Sam's for $46 a piece was still usable after 12 years.
Having advanced inverter/charger I recall adding water only twice in 12 years.
YMMV

WOW ! Amazing !! I think you should have upped yor watering cycle, but you can not argue with success.
