Subject: Deep Cycle / Cranking Batteries

I am running on a pair of Everstart deep cycle marine batteries that I put in service in 2003. They have not given me any reason to change up to this point but I am getting concerned about 5 day outing (no 110V power available) where I will be running them down pretty hard. I am guessing that this is the kind of thing that will put the dagger to one of the batteries and a damper on my outing. I do have a MK2DC charger on board that puts a 10A charge on each battery using current supplied from the motor alternator which helps to keep me going.

All that said, I am strongly considering a battery replacement this summer before my outing. I have noticed that the larger Everstart marine batteries are combination deep cycle and cranking as opposed to strictly deep cycle (which is what I presently have). Wondering if they maintain a charge as well and also withstand the test of time and repeated charge / discharge cycles as well as my 2003 batteries?
