What if... you don't keep your CB on a tender?

If it starts no problem with once a month use,just resign yourself to buying a new battery more often than you would if it got regular use.No big deal,just a little extra expense,be careful of solar charge setups,they need charge regulators and blocking diodes to prevent reverse current discharge when the sun goes down.Overcharging will probably kill it sooner than low usage.
