   I, for one, got one from Interstate recently. That it was not sealed was a=
 surprise, but the fellow said that was the only size 26 they had in the war=
ehouse.  It seemed expensive; I hope it lasts as long as the $39.95 Wal-Mart=
 battery did.=20

 can cover up a failing battery and as soon as you leave it somewhere where i=
t's not plugged in the battery can let you down.  If it's on all the time yo=
u don't know when and how often it is going into charge mode.  If you only p=
lug it in periodically you can keep an eye on it and see how long it is in c=
harge mode before it goes into maintenance mode, and that gives you an idea a=
s to the condition of the battery.  About the only good reason for leaving o=
ne on all the time is when you are away from the property for some time and w=
ill need the car as soon as you return.  But with cut-off switches on all my=
 cars I can leave them a couple of months or more and they will start just f=
ine.
