Paul,

That is great news. My Lifeline 8Ds are 6 years old and I was wondering how much life was left in them. I follow what you have posted above to the letter. I installed a Power Pulse unit when they were new in January 2006. Looks like it is paying dividends!

When did you determine that the end was near? Mine hold a charge now for about 20 hours running the Amana ref/freezer, TV, and a few lights.

I'll be buying mine from the TrukMan when the time comes.
