I just replaced the eight year old Interstate battery (6 volt) and never had to put it on charge all that time.

If it ain't broken, don't fix it ! Don't fret over it. It has survived the past 80+ years.....
i agree, i store my modern 34 year old car on blocks of wood to prevent flat spots and disconnect the battery (does have a slight parasidic drain) and it sits there from about nov - after first major rainstorm of the year to wash the roads of salt. usually April it gets back out. i dont use any sabil or oil anything. usually after about 10 gas pedal pumps it starts right up in the spring.
