They say you should keep a battery charged, but when the gearbox on my Bug broke its final drive gear (crown-wheel we call it), the car sat for a year before I found another locally and fitted it, then the 6V battery charged up again fine and gave several more years of service. It definitely pays to keep it charged, but if you miss on that, recharge at about 0.5 Amps for several days. Dave.
