The kids are always leaving something on so the battery has been drained and charged a number of times. Still working great. I get them at Napa. Deep cycle with really good cold cranking amps. I think the one's I've been buying are around $120 or so. I'm putting them in every rig here these days because they've worked so well on the boat. So far, so good.
