Finally replaced the starting battery in my truck. I don’t know what made it go bad so quickly, but it was $135 to pick up a new one, and now with two nice strong batteries I shouldn’t have any problems keep the lights up at a camp or for that matter starting my truck.

I got three years out of the original two batteries in my truck. Hopefully the new set will last somewhat longer, as at least the deep-cycle/marine battery is a better quality battery.
