Default House battery

Looking for recommendations for a deep cycle house battery. Boat came new with (4) Optima D 31M blue top. House battery always fails. Have replaced under warranty but time to buy a new one.

House battery is also a blue top ?

Did you know they will discharge below what a charger will charge, thus making it appear the battery has failed ? Simply, connect another battery to it until it reaches over 11 volts, then the charger should be able to take over.

I have a ProMarine charger that I installed on my boat to keep the batteries up. I had discharged both AGM batteries totally dead and it recharged them both like new.
