My current battery is less than a year old and one cell is significantly below the other two. I've had it on a battery minder whenever it isn't running. I just don't think they're building the batteries like they used to.

Have you looked around for a sealed type? They make them in 6-volt now.

Do they make a sealed unit the same dimensions as the original? I've seen some that were much smaller. I ordered one from Interstate that should arrive this week. Thanks Panz.
