Had looked at receipt the other day and seems like it was about 5 years on the first set. Actually only one is bad now, but i replaced both of them. Not sure if it was just coincidence, but the one that crapped out is the one I had my stereo wired into. Have an onboard charger that stays plugged in when not in use. For reference, just payed $125 each for the Big Momma 27 at Jerrry's Marine.
