Any problems with this brand? Didn't expect to buy $450 in batteries every year.
Thanks!

I would think if you maintained the batteries properly this should not have happed, but these batteries (AGM) do not typically last that long, maybe 2 to 3 seasons max...
This is a major benefit of the lithium technology, they last 10X as long!
Yes, the initial cost is more, but they pay for themselves over time plus have many more benefits... 7 lbs! , 15 minute charge time, stable voltage, no maintenance/float charging required.
