Yausa for me, replaced my original after 10 yrs (1984) and am still on my 2nd battery but I keep a BatteryMINder Plus charger/ Desulfinator to dissolve the sulfates and is approved for all types of lead acid & Gel batteries, use these chargers on all my equipment and the Bunny just keeps on going, I swear by these chargers/ maintainers, all 3 of them and been using them for years. My 2 cents on it.
