Had my Exide deep cycle group 27 battery on a maintainer last winter and in June installed in my boat as house battery. It was tested by my battery tester and passed before I installed it.
Unfortunately even with battery switches off the CO detectors were on and over the next few months drained the battery. I think around 7V but it was a deep cycle.
Brought the battery home put it on the charger/maintainer for several days. Now it has 150 CCA and is rated for 550 CCA. FAIL.
Not a fan of Exide batteries and I guess one full discharge was one too many.
Walmart Everstart is replacing it.
