I think the moral of the story - get it in writing and keep your receipts. Good job getting what you paid for.

I note with interest today they are offering a four year replacement warranty on a Duracell AGM.
Yes, that's the norm for those, but who says that they have to honor it?. I had a manager's special on top of that, according to them at the time. Naturally that's all forgotten now, which makes it convenient for them.
Lawyers are the only ones these kind of people understand.

The warranty should be honored, it was a basis for you to buy the batteries and you trusted them. It doesn't matter what the original manager said or did, you have the paperwork.

The Cadillac is a 2013 and came with an AGM battery from the factory. I'm no electrical engineer, but from what I have read an AGM can be overcharged with some vehicles. I don't have the answer, only suggestions.

Guessing so, it's called the GEL setting.
So, your Caddy has a special setting for AGM batteries.
NO. Charging algorithms for AGM batteries are very close to those for wet cell batteries, NOT gel batteries.
And, if you don't have the optional battery temperature sensor for your inverter/charger, you will need to re-program it as seasons change. Said another way, a fully charged battery in below freezing conditions will be very unhappy at 90 degrees F (and visa versa).

Does your motorhome have a charging system designed for AGM batteries? The fact that all 4 failed at the same time tells me that may be where the problem is. AGM batteries should easily last 5 years, the one in my Cadillac is over 7 years old.

When did you make the claim? It's been 60 months since you bought those batteries, so the warranty is now up.
