You used to have to do that with EB/ED Falcons, but that was pretty much about it.
Re computer losing memory, this is a myth. It will loose the radio memory, but that's about it. I could go and get a VS computer that I've had in the shed for about 10 years and go put it into my current VS and it'll work just fine straight away.

If the battery was that old, it may have from some formed something on the plates within the battery and therefore once a charge had been put into it, a reaction occurred. Another thing is to look at the battery and see if the case had swelled before putting it on charge, but as mentioned before the CTEK is the most popular put into caravans/motorhomes for their trickle charge ability.
