The auto parts store say they do but not in my experiences. I passed one around amongst 3 cars and the last one I had I had on a '65 Impala that I would turn on a couple of times a year. It would mostly have a healthy crank and the couple of times where I didn't turn it on for several months I just used a Schumacher charger in the quick start option and it would start right up. I'd let the car run for a little while and the battery would hold the charge. I never had to charge it longer than a few minutes.
I've read some people bashing them, but I've only had good experiences. They are not affected by complete drains. They may go dead (after a long time) but they'll charge right back up. The red tops are considered "starting" batteries and are generally recommended over the yellow tops for daily drivers because they have higher cranking amps.
