Gotcha.

OK, the other point I wanted to make was (it's common knowledge, but in case others didn't know) : batteries lifespan decreases when outside ambient temperatures are at their extremes (below freezing , and above say 90 F). If you live where the temps are more temperate ( 40-80 degrees night/day year round) you're good to go. If you live where it snows , or desert (90+ degrees) several days per year then your battery will live a short life.

I'd think (believe) colder temperatures do more damage to batteries, then hotter temps (both aren't good). This winter, when temps are going to be under 32 degrees at night for 7-10 straight days, I'm going to give my battery a trickle charge for 8-12 hours at least once maybe twice this winter
