6 years.

probably bone dry;no electrolyte left.

Most lead acid car batteries last abou 4 yrs,less in a hotter climate.
So-called sealed,maintenance free batteries are not "sealed",and thus the
electrolyte evaporates eventually.Often there are removable cell caps under
a label od disguised as not removable,and you can keep the level up with
distilled water.
