A fully charged battery is spongy lead and acid. As the battery discharges the spongy lead is converted to lead sulfate and the acid becomes weak(er). The lead sulfate is brittle, vibration and fast charging causes it to flake and fall to the bottom of the cell, never to make it back to the plate. If the sediment of sulfate gets too high the cell shorts out.

Putting more acid in the battery will work to the extent you have spongy lead to work with.

For best battery life anchor the battery down to avoid vibration and avoid deep discharge, rapid recharge situations.
