New battery today. Optima Yellow Top D27F
My Braille battery only lasted 3 1/2 years but even though it had a 5 year warranty (no longer offered) it turns out it is pro rata after 12 months. So $400÷5 = $80 a year. $120 off a new battery BUT the new battery is now over $500 & the Optima was only $350

I am concerned that I actually killed the Braille by over charging with my old school charger. Found it was putting out 16 volts & I now know max voltage of 15 volts for AGM. Purchased a CTEK MXS10 as well & tossed the old charger under the house.
