I do, probably around every 3 months. Then every 6 months I throw them on a multi stage charger for a few days. I usually get around 5 to 6 years out of my batteries. I usually buy Century premium rated ones as they also make a cheaper version. They are usually only $30-$40 more. Having said that I tried Exide premium job for two batteries from Big W believe it or not and got a similar life from them too.

I tend to keep my cars for a while and rack up a few hundred thou before moving them on.
