9 year run on lead is pretty good... you must actually take care of your stuff.
I got away with running a Costco Interstate starter battery as my house battery for years. It still does surprisingly well when you don't need to discharge it to the floor.
The battery takes the fridge load overnight without a problem, I don't even hit the low voltage disconnect which is set at 12.1v To a degree I even question the need for a true deep cycle for most weekend warriors.
I can supplement it with a 50 watt solar panel and you don't even need to start the truck all weekend... I have it, but never use it.
That said, when it time to replace, I am building a custom lithium solution which should be pretty amazing in terms of size/weight and run time.
