The mention of shorter life for 8D seems strange as some folks on Forum have had over 10 if I remember right. I hope to get that many with the Lifelines I have and solar charging

My Lifeline 8Ds are 9 years old and still going. But they NEVER get discharged below 50% and the gen stays on auto start just in case.

Never have turned my gen auto start on.  Keep coach hooked to shore power when in storage and only boondock when at Wally World.  Batteries always stay charged.  Use inverter for tv and xm and computers.  DAN

Mine is on all the time unless I am in the storage building.  I turn it off then but when I am on the road and starting out one of my first things is to turn on auto start.
