Same here with the AGM batteries. I installed 2 x 27 & 4 x 31 West Marine DC AGM and they were toast within 30 months. One of 6 would still hold a charge at the end. Back to gel for Honey in 2010 and no issues whatsoever and that is even after issues with the Ample Power alternator and it's diodes & rectifier bridge failure
