That's why I didn't have my charger continuously charge on 2amp trickle charge during the two month period. I thought certain the battery would be good as new if I gave it a shot overnight once every week and a half or so, in some cases charging for only a few hours before disconnecting.
Is there any battery additive that can help increase longevity in these cheap batteries????
