Bob, Welcome to the group. The one thing I would do right out of the gate is get a battery tender and make sure your car is hooked up to it when you aren't using it. A night doesn't go by that my car is not on a battery tender. John F.

Cadillac Sam, You stated that almost every month you connect a battery charger. What I do with my XLR is have it on a battery maintainer all the time. If I am using the car today I put the maintainer on at the end of the day and it stays on til I use the car again. The battery in one of my XLR's...
