Maybe I'm a lucky guy, but I never realized a "loss of capacity". I even let
the bike stand for whole winter...just taking the battery inside the house
(ehh, sometimes :-)).
The bike is a 1994 AT, it's still the first battery. From my humble
experience,
if you have "capacity" problems, it's most likely, that your regulator is
not working proberly.
best regards, Martin
p.s. we also have to drive with light all day/night...and I do a lot of
short distance rides.
