Two things I did to my 149 were to add a ground wire from the battery to the bolt holding the starter on the 149. The other is do not let an attachment rest on the ground when you are done for the day. The battery will drain itself if you leave an metal attachment reat on the ground.

I don't agree that the battery will "drain itself" that is an old wives tale.
Just like setting a battery on cement during storage.
But I respect your opinion.
