I'd say you have a dead battery just waiting to happen. One of these
days it's going to fail you, likely without warning. Once a battery
gets to five years of life it is good insurance to replace it. Unless
of course you like being stranded somewhere with a dead battery. Do
you really want to wait until it fails?
