[DML] Re: question about battery life

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The only disadvantage I can think of is the extra effort required to
remove and reinstall and the small chance of stripping the bolts on
the battery terminals. The BIG upside is that you get to clean
everything up and eliminate the possability of electrolysis in the
cooling system. In fact building codes say you are supposed to remove
the battery if you are charging the battery in the car in the garage.
Although there is a lot of debate about keeping the battery on a piece
of wood and not on steel or concrete the fact is they DO last longer
and keep their charge longer if kept on wood even if no one can agree why.
