Batteries used in rv’s generally have a 1 year warranty. Because that is how long they last if not used and maintained properly.

Your deep cycle decal on the battery assures you of nothing different than a car battery. It tested ok when discharged.

A true rv battery is designed differently. A good choice is two GC2 batteries. Much more tolerant to abuse. If treated properly they last 6-8 years.

Without a battery monitor likely you discharged the battery beyond the 50%. Every time is a nail in the coffin!

If the battery is truly disconnected the wet cell battery discharges about 5% over the storage time per month. Mine are in Ohio. Stored from Christmas to April. Generally down 20%.

If not disconnected they will discharge in less than 2 weeks.

Lithium is becoming the best choice. Amazon! $800 for a 200 ah dc battery.
