[Dan DiBiase]

Well, most of the batteries these days are maintenance-free, so no need to check them any longer, Frank!

Pete: I leave it connected to a Battery Tender and start the car about once a month. I don't ever drive it on our roads here in Rhode Island until the salt has been washed away by the spring rain.  The old Interstate that is in there now is at least 15 years old. The only reason it finally died is that it went dry. When I checked it over the weekend I noticed it was dry and immediately refilled it with distilled water but two days later and it hasn't taken the charge so I am assuming that it is dead. It served me well.

At least I did finally locate and fix an oil leak that has been giving me fits! The location of the battery makes it a pain to check regularly and I know that is no excuse. I will be more vigilant in the future.
