It's 2023. Car batteries are awful. For those of us with a couple/few vehicles we rotate through it seems that it's a never ending fight to keep vehicle batteries charged. I try to drive less frequently, walk or bicycle more, work mostly remotely from home, and it is a constant fight to keep batteries charged. I use all manner of tricks including disconnecting the negative during periods of non-use. It is a tedious process that truly seems it should be unnecessary. I might resort to just removing batteries and bringing inside during long periods of non-use, but what a hassle...
I buy good quality batteries, and they are all well within their designed lifespan. So the question is why are car batteries so pathetic? I don't remember this being a problem decades ago, but perhaps I wasn't paying as close attention, or we just used our vehicles more frequently? In 2023, why can't batteries be more robust?
