Moral of the story is, batteries are incredibly cheap nowadays, not really serviceable, and subject to extreme weather. Every 2-3 years just pop a new one in.
If you're not hearing squeaking or squealing as you drive, it's not rubbing the rotors. A little squeak as you slow down means they're low, yes, but not dangerously low. I have a small bit of noise in the last five feet of each stop. It's embarrassing, but I have 30-40% pad left so probably just...
