That's what I thought, which is why this battery is fairly new.

Allowing car batteries to go completely flat, e.g., in a car which is
not often used, destroys them. Until I got a trickle charger, I'd
be lucky to get 8 months out of a car battery.

Why let it go flat? If the car isn't much used, fit a battery disconnect
device. A lead acid battery has very slow self discharge. Of course you
may them have to enter the radio etc code each time you use it. Same as if
you let the battery go flat. ;-)
