Months on a yard before the first owner
Low-volume imports often wait a long time between leaving the factory and reaching a buyer: shipping, customs clearance, then weeks on an open storage yard. Nobody charges the 12V battery during that stretch, and a lead-acid battery that sits deeply discharged in the heat loses capacity it never gets back. A nearly new Skywell with a tired 12V battery is less surprising than it sounds, so a load test in the first year is worth doing.
