I found that just keep it on a trickle charge when the mbike isn’t used for lengthy periods.... that makes for a much longer life of the battery.

I’ve been keeping my riding mower battery on a trickle charger. One of those $10 Harbor Freight ones. The battery is from August 2017, and still starts the mower with no problem as of last time I used it, last month.
