I have the GIANT Interstate battery. It has a drain tube to drain excess acid. You can get a battery mat that neutralizes acid to put under the battery. I check my battery every few months. No problems after 18 years of using the same type battery. They often last 5 full years and I replace them just because they are 60 months old.

I keep the GIANT battery for the reserve power. One time I left my dome light on overnight. The car fired up with no problem. It is heavy and bulky but the Porsche engineers put it there for a reason.
