[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 410646, member: 7544"] I don't know the source of your information and I'm not trying to dispute or confirm it. But I can confirm that between my boats, motorcycles, ATV's, and lawn mowers, I would frequently lose batteries after only 1-3 years use. Every since I started using Battery Tender Jr on all of them, I've yet to lose a battery in less than 4 years and some last as long as 6. I've been using maint chargers for about 20 years now. I should probably add that I've never been one to remove my batteries and store them inside during the winter either. And I know that sitting out in the cold without being used is hard on a battery and storing them inside might negate the need or benefits of a maint charger but I'm too lazy to take them all out and I don't have a climate controlled area to store them in anyways. And my boat has a marine charger on it now instead of a Battery Tender brand maint charger. [/QUOTE]
