If you're going to keep the battery or want to know in the future how good the battery really is check it Old School...If the cells are accessible (and many still are even though the unit looks sealed) check each one with a simple acid test squeeze bulb you can get at any parts store. If the electrolyte has been allowed to go below the plate and you had it on a maintainer, forget it. Fill the cells with distilled water and charge away, then you can check each cell. My battery is at least three years old and it's fine but I'm careful to never let the acid level drop or charge it partially dry.
