My bank of Newmar 6 volt AGM batteries are 6 years old and still registering full charge with no issues. Probably will replace next year to be safe. I do have the small trickle charge solar panel on the roof of my Dutch Star. I have no idea if it helps but I feel good about the battery life. I’m in Florida during the winter now so I’m plugged in at all times, however, in the summer months the bus sits in storage outside in the sun and not plugged in. Batteries always appear to be fully charged.
