It's a daily. The stock battery wouldn't be happy after sitting for more than a week without a charger. I always used a battery tender if it was going to sit for more than 5 days or so. This battery so far has sat for 3 days with no issues starting afterwards and if anything the starter seems to getting all the juice it is asking for right away whereas the stock battery seemed to discharge more slowly during startup even if it was just on the tender.
This particular lifepo setup has an automatic shutoff that will stop it from draining enough to cause a no start. Was never impressed with the stock battery so I guess I don't see how it could get much worse. I'm planning on letting it sit without using a tender and drive it normally and just see how it goes so I can learn the limits of what it can handle. Will be interesting to see what it does when the weather turns colder.
