I also do not charge my batteries overnight because I fear the automatic shutoff from the charger might become defective and create a fire. So I only recharge during the day I am interested in learning if anyone is getting better than 3-4 years on their batteries and if so the brand name. I have gone through three sets of batteries in four years and they were suppose to be the best Trojans???? Any suggestions?
Rubicon,
If you are keeping your batteries charged and using distilled water to keep the water level above the plates I am thinking your charger may not be working properly. Batteries should last a lot longer than yours are.
