Battery constantly dying

Very true. They just don't seem to make batteries like they used to. Batteries even 10 or so years ago seemed to be less susceptible to plate corrosion/build-up and would hold a charge longer. Current batteries just don't seem to hold up as well though unless the vehicle they're used in is started up and ran on a regular basis.

I had the same issue with my Mustang GT. It just didn't get driven enough to keep the battery fit. I invested in a Battery Tender for my Mustang as well as the new Pulsetech Battery Maintainer for my motorcycle. The battery on my bike was suffering the same inactivity failure, but the Pulsetech is supposed to have technology that reduces the size and number of sulfates, and maintains the charge at 100%. After my bike refused to start one weekend I hooked the Pulsetech up for one week, and then disconnected it for one week. The bike started right up after a week off. I leave it on all the time, but may switch between the bike and my lawn tractor, which got a new battery this year. Hopefully my expensive batteries will last for many more years now.
