They should have lasted much longer but they failed due to my lack of knowledge.

The new ones are on their second year and doing great as I remember to remove them for the winter and set them on a trickle charger in my garage.
I expect these batteries to last at least 5 more years with proper care. I am very conscientious at keeping them above 50% charge (12.1 volts) and prefer not to let them go below 70% (12.3 volts).
