steve70, what your secret for making your batteries last so long? My yellow cap from antique battery only lasted 3 years.
I haven't done anything special although I disconnect the cable on the yellow cap if the car is going to be sitting for more than a couple weeks because that car has a clock.
During the winter I'll put them on a regular 10 amp charger if I see the voltage starting to drop below 12.4. I believe the instructions that came with the batteries recommended a 10 amp charger instead of a battery maintainer.
