I was told that Asian im****ts tend to sit on the ****ps, docks, holding
yards 
etc. for a fair while before getting sold and the batteries discharge and 
stay discharged for a fair while and this shortens their lives.
The last three new cars I've had only got about two years out of their
first 
battery but got much longer out of their second.
