But, it's always had the trickle charger on it. Also, when the battery charger/booster was on it, it showed the battery was fully charged.
We have a 1965 Mustang parked in our garage, a favour for a friend who lives in NY. It was on a trickle charger for a long time, but everytime he would be in LA, twice a year and pick up the car to drive it the battery would be shot. Using a booster or charging it with cables would not start the car. A fresh battery did.
