Just want to see what your ideas are on this; after three years of very occasional/light use, the last two times I went to use it, the battery was apparently dead - no crank. So I hooked up my auto battery charger but it doesn't appear to be taking a charge, either at 2 Amps or 10. However, all I have to do is put the charger on it, get on and turn the key, and it cranks and starts. After using it for 30 minutes or so, I can turn it off, key the starter again and it fires up right away. Then, maybe a month later, its dead again. Previously it could sit all winter and it would fire right up. I don't mind putting a new battery in it after about three years. I guess I'll take the battery to the auto parts and get them to check it out. I always leave the key in the 'off' position but this time I took it out just in case there is a current drain there.
