I just had to replace the battery on my hanging TH feeder after 8 years. It was reading 10.4 volts and couldn’t throw the feed. The solar panel was looking a bit hazy from sun damage so I replaced that too. All I do is bring the feeder in and disconnect the battery for winter, nothing else. After 8 years I have no complaints!
