Mine had lasted nearly two before it died coz it had been recharged too much due to lack of use Rolling Eyes

They have a two year warranty so I just took it back to a local stockist and got a new one. Can't complain about their warranty!

I run 2 of these in my lux haven`t had any problems yet, but haven`t had them every long. I used to run 2 exide endurance which are the next one down (I think) had them for approx 3 years before they died and they did heaps of winching.

if those are the 'gell cells' i have two of them under the seat in my defender and have never had a problem.
the second one runs the fridge and stereo and would have been flattened 20 times in its life.
it still comes back strong every time
