You should generally inspect them monthly, and replace them as soon as they're down to about 50% of their original size. Letting them go any smaller than that risks galvanic corrosion occurring and the damage is CUMULATIVE.
If your boat is plugged into the shorepower and you don't have a galvanic isolator, that can be an issue. Also, other boats nearby can cause problems for your boat if they have an electrical fault.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
