When my mother had the equip. auction of my dads farm equip. the auctioner came to give us some pointers for auction day. He said take all batteries out of everything and throw them away. Then go down to supply store and buy new and install in everything. I told him some of the batteries are only about 1 year old. He said no matter, we want to make sure everything starts on auction day. and they will be started and stoped many many times morning of. You will spend 50 to 100 dollars for a battery and I will get you 1000 to 5000 dollars more if it starts verses not starting. I followed his advice and we had a very succesful auction. This was 15 years ago. Ever since then anytime a battery starts to weeken I replace it right away. If a typical $60 battery lasts 4 yrs. thats $15 a yr. or $1.25 a month. With what my time is worth I can't screw around very long just to get a few extra months out of battery. Just my opinion.
