A quote from a source much better at explaining it then me.
"Excessively draining a battery, or leaving it in a state of discharge, will allow the soft lead sulfate to crystallize. At that point, charging the battery will still cause some of the sulfation to reverse, but any crystallized lead sulfate will remain on the plates. This sulfate cannot, under normal circumstances, return to a solution in the electrolyte, which permanently reduces the available output of the battery.
The other detrimental effect of allowing crystallized lead sulfate to form is that it effectively shortens the lifespan of the battery in an empirically measurable way. If too much of this crystallization is allowed to occur, the battery will no longer be able to provide enough amperage to start the engine, and it will have to be replaced."
yes thanks, possibly but I think the battery would have to be really drained to zero and left in that state still for a prolong time , I am not too worried about this issue , if I need to boost the Jeep I will just boost it but what I find strange is how some drivers are OK with the idea that the battery may not last potent after 2 - 3 weeks of inactivity , thanks again
