My experience is that cheap wet cell batteries like you but a WALMART last about a year,if you buy wet cells from Yuasa or Interstate ,maintain them,dissconnet them and charge them over the winter they can last up to three years.The Deka gel cells and Odyessy dry cells last about three years also.Different batteries have different charging needs,wet cell batteries like to be charged at a low amperage for a long time,dry cell and gell cell batteries do not respond well to this type of charge,they need to be charged at a high amperage rate for a short length of time.A wet cell battery will usually charge back up if run completely dead,gel cell and dry cell batteries do not like to be run completely dead and may very well not charge back up if left in a discharged state for extended periods of time.Seadoos are notorious for running the batteries down if left plugged up for extended lengths of time,I have also seen this on some Yamaha models as well.
