Anyone have experience with this particular battery. Company I work for carries and since able to purchase at cost. Would be putting two wired in series.

My brother in-law has one in his trailer. He has had it 2 years now with no issues. He also has a fancy dancy charger/maintainer unit that he uses to keep it properly charged when not in use. He is a retired electrical engineer and researched it at length before making the purchase.

I replaced my batteries (2 parallel 12-volt) 2 years ago with Optima Blue Tops. They are deep cycle and maintenance free. I was a Johnson Controls employee at the time and got employee factory-direct pricing. We are full-timers and have had no problems. They are sure proud of these batteries, judging by the retail prices. I'm not sure I would have made the purchase at full retail prices, but was glad to get these batteries with the discount.
