Mine are good to go. After 2 years use, quite frequent camping for several days at a time, since I retired 1/09 and have been on the road a lot. All 4 are within 12.84 to 12.86 volts so my kitchen//fridge "issues" are elsewhere. I'm replacing the Sure Power 1315 with a 1315-200 as my motor has a 120amp alternator now and the 1315 is only "good" to 100 amps. I must have a fuse problem, or perhaps a Vitrifrigo problem, but don't know the answer to that yet. This battery set up is working well for me. bob > > > I have had the 88ah UB12220 battery system.
