I hope I'm not on borrowed time with my 2004 BX battery.

No you are not but you are on bonus time.

2003 3510 original battery lasted 11 years with snake oil & maintainer.
Duramax batteries lasted 9 years using same snake oil & maintainer.

If one has AC nearby a battery tender type solution is awesome for battery life.

my 04 Kubota has original battery and I bought it in 2003 has always set outside and never on charger. longest I have ever had a battery by far!

Can't imagine that you aren't. That battery don't owe you nuttin.

The AC powered battery tenders are worth using...

I had a forklift batter 36V last 20 plus years. Yes I religiously added the snake oil to it also.
The battery cost 5K so I'm glad it lasted that long.

I kept the water level up charged every night, long charge on the weekends.
