I don't know about overlander batteries but someone must make them. What were the conditions and frequency of charging applied to that battery?
You may have left it in a discharged state and that will kill any battery.
The Century dual force is only 90ah and ONLY 23kg in weight, which indicates it is a bit light on, in lead inside. I can't see how a battery which is underweight from recognized norms to be able to deliver the stated AH rating for a long time. The price I have found for the Dual Force is $349. You can buy a 31KG 110AH AGM for $271 delivered to door. A bigger battery but it is also able to do cranking as
well if asked of it. Autoelec.com. Brand, Power AGM. They make an 85ah Power AGM $241, and it weighs 23kg for the 85ah, a smaller capacity than the Dual force 90 ah at 23KG. Starts getting into splitting straws a bit though as the batteries get smaller.
If under bonnet then this is probably not for you.
Most of the replies try to save money and still provide reliability. Allan mentioned underbonnet use too. Not sure of your placement. Plenty of info will always provide more accurate replies to your individual situation.
My opinion is, having a company select a battery for you may not be the best option with regard to value and longevity.
