The Panosonic battery is a very good high $$ battery and should last 10+ years if taken care of.
just noticed this and also my first time hearing about it... any one do this method? or know if its actually worthwhile?

distilled water is the way to go. will not create the colorful corrosive crap around the terminals either.

when i removed my battery, it was full.

didn't crank the car, and it was the 4th or 5th time it's done that in the last few years. So I changed it.

maybe it was still good. I dunno.
