I have 4 - 6V Interstate GC2's that I bought on June 19, 2013.
They have been excellent for me in spite of the up and down charging over the years, and less than stellar maintenance by me. Sometimes they will be drained way down, other times kept right up. Many times they have been charged by my Honda 2000 genny.
They sit unused all winter in freezing Alberta weather. They have never had a trickle charger on them to maintain charge.
Every spring they have been ready for use, and even though sat freezing for months, will always power out the slide.
I have forgotten to switch my battery cutoff a few times, resulting in them draining to completely flat.
Although they are showing signs of weakening, they are still going, holding a charge and functioning well for me.
Over 8 years and counting.
I will likely replace them next spring. And I would not hesitate to buy the same batteries again.
