Mine are (and were) Gill flooded lead acid batteries.

5 years from Gills is phenomenal.

GPU plus battery minder did wonders.

I have repeatedly found 90 series King Airs that are using GPU's on a regular basis are getting 5+ years. Haven't quite seen that longevity for the 200 series with -41 and bigger PT6's. No GPU, usually 2-3 years.

Edit: All lead acids, not sure of brand, Gill or Concorde.
