[DML] Re: just some good news for a change

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is very detrimental to a lead-acid battery to become fully
discharged. Think of it like a cat. You used up one of it's lives and
there is now less "life" left in it. This causes a battery to age
prematurely. You should try NEVER to let a lead-acid battery fully go
"dead". It is much better to disconnect it with a master switch and it
should be trickle-charged for a day once a month. If the car isn't
being used for an extended period of time the battery should be
removed. Even with good care a lead-acid battery is not good for more
than 5 years. By then it is at less than 50% capacity. Batteries are
not like sponges. You cannot take it all out and put it all back and
not affect it's storage capacity. Anyway, enjoying our cars is what it
is all about!
