I think it's drip feeding day in day out that kills them, but it's only a theory. Trouble is leaving a battery go flat for extended periods of time is no good for it either, I have an intelligent battery tender that shuts off when its not needed so is not continuously charging and i swap that between 4 bikes so its never on the same bike for months on end one of the best things to do is take the battery off and keep it somewhere warm. My garage is heated and i'm still on the original battery on the CRF bought in March 2016. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
