Lead acid batteries like to be 100% fully charged 100% of the time. Now, some people don't drive often and the battery will drop well below 100% and cause degradation (lost capacity and eventual death) due to the formation of sulphate crystals on the surface of the lead plates that literally block the electro-chemical reaction that makes the zoom zooms go zoom.

Furthermore, many modern vehicles purposefully maintain batteries partially charged to save gas. It's pretty dumb since the savings are crap and the affect on the battery is not zero.

So, plug in a maintainer every weekend or once a month and keep that battery healthy. Have a vehicle in storage? Better have a maintainer.

Bought one of these and it stopped charging within 6 months. Bought a couple Noco chargers and have been happy with them.

How do I determine if my car battery is AGM or lithium?
