The more often a battery is drained and needs charging from flat the quicker it will need replacing. i go through a fair few on the bike as i forget to trickle charge. hence why high end cars have trickle charging connections in the boot.
You usually trickle charge a battery when the vehicle it's on isn't being used regularly enough to charge it on a run.

I ran a multimeter across it, it showed a 14v when the engine was off, and it went up to 15v when the engine was turned on.
Those values sounds slightly high.
Are you sure the alternator isnt overcharging the battery?

Hmm, this I can't be sure of. I'll check it again later to make sure.
Would an over charged batter cause it not to start then?
