Also, if you are renting, don't refill with new acid and 10A it indoors or the acid will boil over and burn a large hole through the carpet which will have to be replaced.

New plastic case batteries don't discharge on concrete.
I had luck when I was young dumping the electrolytic and doing the best pressure wash I was able. Red stuff comes out from the bottom that shorts the plates. I don't remember what that is called but all the garage guys know.
New electrolytic from the FLAPS always got me another year or 2.
Can you store a battery empty? IDK. Can you refill with distilled water until you want to charge it? Again, IDK, but that won't solve a freezing problem.
