12V 8D AGM Deep Cycle Battery - 255 Ah

LifeLine AGM deep cycle 8D batteries have a well-earned reputation for heavy-duty, high-quality construction and the ability to be discharged again and again without decreasing their amp-hour rating.
The 8DL and 8DA batteries (20.8"L x 10.9"W x 8.7"H) are designed for deep cycle use in marine and RV applications.

All Lifeline deep-cycle batteries are hand-made in the USA. These batteries are Coast Guard approved and have to meet demanding mil spec requirements, since they are used on numerous US Military vessels. They are designed to deliver industry leading reserve capacities and life-cycle capabilities. All Lifeline deep cycle batteries are backed by an exceptional 5 year warranty.

Warning – Do not mix new and old batteries in a battery bank. Doing so will void the new battery's warranty, and it will not be returnable to Fisheries for a replacement or refund.

As batteries age they develop a resistance to charging, making them take longer to recharge. When new and old batteries are mixed, the increased charging required of the older batteries becomes the default regimen for the entire bank.
The result is that the newer batteries in the bank can be over-charged on a regular basis. This will damage the newer batteries and void their warranty.

Batteries in a deep cycle AGM battery bank typically age (and begin to fail) as a group. If one of the batteries fails, the others are probably not be far behind. Don’t be tempted to replace only the failed battery.
Best practice is to always replace all the batteries in a bank at the same time.
