bought a used golf kart in early 2000. same battery today, never taken in, sat in unheated building in kart, no charger on for winter or to start the season and i believe i might have check the water once or twice but each spring I did wipe the corrison off the terminals with baking soda. Never fail.
A few weeks ago bought new interstate for bike. One month later dead, took back and bad cell.
Each battery to its own
Battery on wood was told as concrete sucks juice out plus acid from battery eats concrete db
