Any one running Century batteries ? What kind of run are you having?
Iv'e been using these for years as I was buying them through work at the time & the right price. Still using them as I know the guy that owns the outlet & still at the right price.
How ever, in the last 14mths I have had six replaced under warranty . I run two as aux & one start. Hope Century soon get it sorted.

Just replaced my van battery and spoke to local auto electrician who quoted me $365 for 100 A/H Century battery and another auto electrician suggested not to buy Century there were better options and he recommended the ones used by Winnabago but a friend who is in the Bushtracker club said their club recommend Full River.
I was able to find a full River 120 A/H AGM from a supplier near Campbelltown at a price much below the price quoted for the Century Battery

More than likely you are not been supplied the correct type of battery for the purpose. Many claim you can cycle calcium batteries Ca/Ca batteries. Calcium batteries will fail quickly from deep cycling, especially if cycling under poor charging conditions.
Other issue you may have a poor charging setup for multiple batteries that is causing premature battery failure. Battery manufacturers warranty claim rate is around 0.1%. You have personally blown the claim rate sky high :)

Paul, two of these batteries were starting ones, the other four were deep cycle.
The deep cycle are for accessorys, ( 99% fridge ) .These are charged via 240 watts of solar when camped, A 240 volt 25amp charger on gen set when solar is unavailable, & a 20amp DC-DC onboard charger when travelling, all of which has plenty of capacity & do the job well.
These of mine were not the only ones returned, several others as well from this outlet, & we are only a small town.
The boys at the outlet admitted there were some issues going on & were happy to replace them ,got to be happy with that just the inconveinance.
