I learned my lesson when a battery that had coughed once before and then suddenly died around midnight on a cold snowy Saturday. I never let my batteries get past five years these days, it was three or four years once but the batteries are much better now.

My '04 made Varta sits on the garage shelf all charged up and nowhere to go.

With the age of some of these batteries I would open the six caps on the top of them and refill with distilled water up to the bottom of the hole, batteries don't like the plates exposed.
