I swear by the Odyssey batteries.

I had one in a old standup jetski that lasted a good 10 years under unspeakable abuse. Full discharges, floodings, and full salt water shorts.

They also have near no internal discharge do they can be left alone without a battery maintainer for seasons on end and will still be ready to go when needed.

They are expensive, but so worth it.

They might be a newe company but the specs on the batteries are awesome. an 8 cell battery weighs only 2lbs!

It all depends on the temperatures and parasitic draw. It's best to remove the battery and store it somewhere where it will be warm. Also lead acid batteries (wet cell) have internal draw that happens all the time, so they will discharge themselves and it gets worse with age.

It's a good idea to put them in the garage and on a tender every so often during winter. This also keeps the electronics in your quad from draining them. At the very least, disconnect the negitive terminal before leaving it be for long periods of time then charge it before you use it again.
