Gordon,
If the information you have posted is all the info you possess, it is
not enough to blame anyone for the 2 year life cycle. Here are two facts.



Be Careful!!
Here is my short story on Trojan AGM Batteries:


AS I said, this was a post in the south bound group. NOT my boat and
this is all I know. Take it as you will!
Gordon


Another cruiser reported having problems with 6 month old Trojans. He
was in southern Mexico and was told by Trojan that his warranty was no
good in another country and he would have to return to the US for
warranty replacement.
As he was headed farther south, this was not an option. He replaced
the Trojans with cheap Mexican batteries and lived happily ever after.
Again this is not my boat and I have no details so ...........
Gordon

Actually, maybe no company will honor a warranty out of country due to
cost of shipping.
