Ok, I'm a complete total idiot! My car has been garaged and covered for the past month and half to two months. I just noticed today that it's been on my battery charger instead of my battery tender (on the 2A/12V setting). I was in a hurry one weekend when I garaged it for the winter and must have grabbed the charger by mistake! I didn't even realize I had a charger so I must have assumed it was the tender.

Anyway, I checked the water in the cells and all looked good. While I hated to do it, I started the car and it fired right up no problem. It's on the tender now, but my question is will the battery be ok (it's less than 2 years old).
