as posted on the other battery threads, you do need to maintain them by adding distilled water from time to time.

Here's a radical idea. Don't use a tender at all, assuming it's stored in a heated garage. Mine sits for at least 6 months, and fires up fine every spring.

What temperature do you keep your garage at?

About 10C, 50F for your southerners.
