That's certainly a possibility. I don't know if the battery minders are expected to just keep the plates from deteriorating or to actually keep it at full charge.
I'll look at it more closely tonight. I had the original battery on the charger overnight. Glowed and fired right up this morning. I'm waiting to see if it starts at the end of the day today. Hopefully the drive in to work with a good stretch of 10 miles at highway speeds helped.
