Once deep cycles get to low, they rarely come back.  As my batteries got older, they lost there charge more quickly, especially in the cold. When I remembered to check the charge, it would be to late, batteries would never fully recover after.  This is when I went to maintainers, no need to remember over long winter storage.  After maintainers, never lost another battery from being undercharged.  Been over 20 yrs since I made that switch, and no lost batteries since.  However, I have heard of a couple cases where the maintainer/ chargers have gone bad, and caused battery issues.  I stopped using a popular charger after a couple bad ones that shorted my batteries, but have also had a couple batteries short and ruin my chargers !!  Depends on your luck I guess...</p></blockquote><p></p>
