how does one prolong battery life I mean

batteries are expensive and are getting

more and more expensive you know flooded

batteries were expensive deep-cycle but

the prices have gone up and are in

multiples for AGM and now with newer

agents can be you know three four times

more money than actually a flooded level

apps of batteries so people are

investing a lot of money in their

batteries the battery banks are getting

larger and so if you're going to have a

failure in a battery bank and you're

going to have one battery fail out of

eight four years in of using your

batteries unfortunately you can't

replace that just one battery you've got

to replace them all so it's not like oh

it's fine I've got seven out of eight

I'm good no it's time to replace the

weakest battery is going to take the

whole bank with it because when it's

time to change you've got to change all

your batteries because they always have

to start at the same time you can't mix

and match batteries of different life

together so that's a reason why you

should care about your batteries you

know a maintaining your investment right

and also knowing that your batteries are

not going to fail prematurely when you

least expect it because if you take care

of your batteries a flooded lead-acid

battery should give you probably between

anywhere between five and seven years on

my own load they lasted ten years now

it's normal I take care of them maybe

more than usual people and I've seen

those are probably on the very high end

but five to seven years for a Pacific

Northwest motor that takes care of his

batteries relatively well is a good life

expectancy
