Anthem Battery Question

I have a 2015 Anthem 44B. On my last trip the battery drops from 12.5 to 11v so quickly that the generator can not start. I have my generator auto start set @ 12V. Is it normal to need new batteries within 2-3 years?

Here is the problem with the Command 30 when the batteries need it the most. Both my Command 30 and the batteries had to be replaced. Do not call the first number listed for Grover it is incorrect. The correct number will be posted in large red numbers.

No not normal, but all too common. One or more batteries have gone bad and are dragging the rest down.

I had to replace mine in my 14.. 4 were bad and just replaced them all
Seems pretty common to do every 3 years.. others disagree and say they should last for years.. not my experience with them... maybe if you buy the 500 buck a piece high end space technology bla bla ones they would..
I will just freshen my up every 3 years with average reasonable priced ones and not feel bad when I do it and know I always have fresh batteries
