I have had the 12V 9Ah Hobie battery for three years. It's probably been discharged and charged 30 times or so. Occasionally, I have inadvertently kept it on the Hobie charger when not in use and realize this may shorten battery life. Now, it will charge to 12.7V but after about an hour, drops to 10V under load and causes my chartplotter to power down. I assume it's time to replace. Just wondering if this is expected life. Thanks.

Sounds within exected lifespan to me. Fortunately replacement cost is not back-breaking!
