I just went to use my boat last week, and found I had a dead battery !
I put battery on charger overnight, but made no difference, only have about 9v, nothing more. DOA !

I purchased this battery exactly 2 yrs ago at Wal-Mart, it is an EverStart
Marine & RV Deep Cycle battery, and I paid around $80.

I would think one should expect more than 2 yrs from a battery ?
Car batteries last about 4-6 yrs, what gives ?

Any suggestions on a replacement ?
