Once they start to discharge, expect a shortened life. I've had OPTIMA batteries last ten years using a Battery Tender Plus.

I found this site https://www.themechanicdoctor.com/ho...ry-sit-unused/ which might give you some reference. The DELTRAN site used to have an FAQ section but it's not active. https://www.batterytender.com/

If you don't want to use a device, you can simply disconnect the negative side of the battery.

Note a good idea to disconnect the battery cause there are often default codes after...

I use optima tender 🙂 but the battery really don’t like cold weather...
