<<Mark Richter is extremely careful and
conservative in his battery management and as I recollect he
claims 8 years.>>

Bob,
Actually, I replaced my bank of 4 Trojan L-16 batteries after 4
years when I noticed appreciably diminished capacity. But my
useage of the house bank is unusual, in that typically I
discharge for 3-4 days before recharging. This practice is hard
on the batteries in that there is a longer time for sulphation of
the plates to harden.

This time, I went with 6 golf carts for the house bank, and added
a pulsing desulphation device. We'll see how it goes.
