I have 4 of the Trojan T-125s ( T-105s are similar) which were fitted around April 2009. I only lightly discharge them ( 20%) and they are always replenished fully within 12 hours, so not much of a test, but have been faultless since installation. They live on shorepower via a Victron 12/3000/120, which is on float most of the time... It does go to bulk, then float periodically, usually when I am working on the boat. These are 6V 240 Ah units and I have four, configured as 12V 480 Ah. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use 4 x6 volt to give 24v. Rolls Series 4000 S-600 6 volt. 450amps @ 20 hour rate. Been using them for over a year, no measurable change in SG, performance, etc. Edited August 18, 2011 by choogh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also keep mine as fully charged as possible by boating for around 4 hrs+ a day and then solar panels when left on the moorings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
