I had a Wally World nEverstart battery in my Kubota tractor, which is on a battery maintainer when not running.
Battery is a bit of a chore to get to...I was looking in there one day, noticed the terminals were corroded, looked at the date sticker; battery was FOURTEEN YEARS OLD!!!
I pulled it out, checked it with a load meter; low, but still good.
Went and bought a new nEverstart because of the corroded terminals.
Impressive. You did win the Walmart lotto with that one. Those corroded terminals usually are the sign of it getting ready to wave the white flag! See if the next one lives that long.

I’ve had great luck the Ever Starts in the past. My F350 has a pair of Odyssey Extreme batteries that are going on 5 years. I don’t drive the truck much since selling the RV so it sits on a NOCO charger on a time. Chargers every night for 2 hours. No issues on that vehicle.
Bronco is my daily on OEM AGM. Periodically I unhook the battery terminals and let is sit overnight on a NOCO as well.
Both tractors and Kubota all sit on NOCOs when not in use. This lead acid batteries are 7+ years old.
After 25 years in the telecom industry i highly recommend No-Ox Id special a for all DC connections. We used it on all of the DC connections in cell sites. It basically eliminates corrosion.
