My '07 CS was manufactured early '07 (about four years ago) and the battery does not longer has the same cranking power, but it gets used at least once a week for a few days.

Now, I bought a automatic battery charger, that has a battery reconditioning feature and also an equalizer feature.

It fully charged the battery in about 1 1/2 hours and now it's going through the equalizing process (battery removed from the car), we'll see if the battery improves after that.

Question: Would be advisable to drain the acid from the battery and fill it up with fresh acid..? Or just to fill up with distilled water

In SoCal does not get really cold, but gets warm during the summer (100-115 occasionally), therefore the battery may finally die during the summer time...
