Default New Batteries?

I had two Rolls 4Ds and a Rolls 27. Plenty of juice for anything I wanted
to do. All three batteries expired within days of the warranty expiring,
four years. I replaced them with Exide truck batteries, same sizes. If I
get two years out of them I will be ahead but I expect to get much more
than two years from them. They is heavy suckers but we have a couple of
line backers at the marina who can practically pick them, up with one
hand.


What sort of Exide? Ordinary heavy Duty wet cell? What is the difference
between those and 'marine' batteries in the same category?
