I have a special care regimen to ensure long life ---neglect and abuse, never charge with a plug in charger for longer than 10 min in 10 years, if the engine won't start after prolonged cranking use the starter to drive the car out of the garage, and use a unregulated generator set to 15 amps. ---actually I do have a regulator, I turn on the headlamps when I think the battery has been charged enough.
