I check the water every year on my Batteries, clean the terminals and posts yearly and apply something to prevent corrosion on the terminals (Fluid film currently). Just changed the battery on the Civic last month. It lasted 10 years and is only the second battery replaced in 20 years. OEM lasted 10 years as well.
Car is parked in a garage now, so the cold starts aren't as extreme, but the first 6 years I owned the car it was never parked in a garage.
