Thats an interesting theory about the battery being underused orange4boy. I'd love to test it to see if could revive it. Perhaps I'll rig up another battery for the time being and see what can be done with it. I'd also like to try adding water like Bob suggested. I'm all for prolonging the life of the battery. 4 years does seem short for a battery that doesn't see much action. I just have to rig up something reliable since its really our main car.

If all that fails, I was planning on going to the yellow top. The design is superior, capacity is a bit higher, and it should last longer.
