It has a dead cell. I know it is only 2 years old but it happens especially if that battery was run completely down which shortens the life. I suggest you purchase a different brand as this brand was not very dependable. My answer is assuming nothing is on pulling power from the battery when the car is just sitting. Have the battery checked to make sure it is actually defective. Any auto parts store will check it for you. It has to be fully charged in order for it to be checked.

Your 1979 battery wont hold a charge?

30 year old battery?? I have never heard of a battery lasting this long. This has to be a record of some sort. I would contact the battery manufacture as they may want this battery and give you a new one for it. Anyway if the battery will not hold a charge it has a dead cell and needs to be replaced.

Over time, you may notice that your battery doesn't hold a charge as long as it used to. This may be caused by frequent charges/drains or infrequent battery use. It is recommended that you "condition" your battery a few times a year to get the most out of it. To do this, simply charge your battery to the fullest and then disconnect the AC plug.

What is the estimated life of a lithium ion battery?

The typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two to three years or 300 to 500 charge cycles, whichever occurs first. One charge cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to fully discharged, and fully recharged again. Use a two to three year life expectancy for batteries that do not run through complete charge cycles. Rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries have a limited life and will gradually lose their capacity to hold a charge. This loss of capacity (aging) is irreversible. As the battery loses capacity, the length of time it will power the product (run time) decreases.
