You'll recall a discussion we had about the garden battery in an (unmentionable here) piece of
equipment. The battery wouldn't hold a charge. You suggested maybe the battery was old. So today I
checked it. July, 2006. Not too bad, but that might help explain why I had to keep hitting it with
the charger.

Put a new one in it (unmentionable here). Set my back all of $22 with a discount. Maybe this one
will last me another five years.

The technology for lead acid batteries hasn't changed in decades.
Basically, anything you get over two years, is a gift....

What kind of cheap batteries do you buy?
We get 5 or 6 years out of original equipment automobile batteries and
I'm still using that old marine battery Tom included with the Yukon.
