2 more weeks and I join the 10 year club. I should wash it...
I was super bummed when my original finally gave up the ghost. It was only one cell that quit taking charge. Didn't respond to de-sulfation. They really are excellent batteries. I'd buy another if I could find it.

Washing is overrated. I don't even garage mine.
