battery maintenance/lifespan?

Sun Aug 24 12:37:24 EDT 2003

Hi all...

Looks like my battery is dying.  It won't hold a charge overnight,
even unplugged from the rest of the car.  Before I go poking around:

* How long should batteries last in a 200?

* Is there any maintenance to be done - filling with water
  (distilled?) etc?

* Any recommendations on where I should go to buy one?  I assume
  shipping charges on a battery make the dealer more useful?  Any
  specific recommendations for Boulder, CO?

Thanks much!
-Ben
