    What exactly makes you think that ?
    NO modern tire just "goes bad" when not being used much.

    The stock battery has smaller posts* and a gas vent port (connects to a tube on the car). There's several aftermarket batteries meeting these criteria, and of course the dealership battery, which you can buy through their parts dept.

    If you want to see where your current battery is at, stop messing around and electronic load test it. Battery retailers will do it for free, dealerships for a fee, or pick up something like Solar BA9.

    * they're referred to as JIS posts (Japan Industrial Standard).
