Time to replace a weak battery

[eweise]

I have a weak starting battery that I need to replace. It is an Interstate 27M-XHD. Are there any opinions as to going back with the same brand/model or another recommendation. This one lasted just shy of 3 years.

I have consistently had 6-7 yr life with deka 27m6 batteries. Shy of 3 years does not sound very good, but you need to provide details on use and charge to determine if it failed early.

X2 on Deka. Interstate is also very good and unusual to see one fail in 3 years. Was it keep full of water and charged properly?

Full of water, when needed used distilled water. Never sat more than couple of weeks with being used or charged. Sometimes I believe they just go bad. Purchased a new 27M-XHD today. Will install this weekend. I will evaluate more if the others start to fail.
