As far as dead battery's for "non-every-day" Model A use, some have reported a battery's life in a Model A is about 3 - 5 years ....... others may have had entirely different varying experiences.

FWIW: Battery Type: I have a six (6) volt "Energizer" battery from Tractor Supply in my Model A which is seven (7) years old and still going strong.

After buying it, I tried keeping it up with a very small compact:

"Schumacher SP-1 2/4-Amp 6/12-Volt Automatic Battery Charger/Extender"

which has a unique "Desulfation Mode" that not all battery tenders incorporate in their specific battery tenders.

Some Wal-Marts carry these SP-1's for under $30.00, and it is under $40.00 with free shipping from Amazon Prime, just in case anyone is interested.

Used it again just yesterday ...... first time in (2) months.

It charged this 6V battery at (2) amps for 1-1/2 hours.

The green light came on indicating fully charged.

Also bought one for my son w/ marine batteries ..... works great!
