[Healeys] Batteries

[coudesluijs at chello.nl (Kees Oudesluijs)]

I have used both low budget nameless and expensive well known brands 
batteries and to be honest I have not noticed a lot of difference in 
their performance or durability. They usually last around 10 years if 
checked regularly for electrolyte level (if at all possible) and fill 
them up with distilled water (condensed water from a clothes drier) as 
needed and have them connected to a controlled trickle charger when the 
car is not being driven.

Leaving the battery unattended during long periods will shorten the life 
spectacularly. It could be dead within the year.

Get the largest capacity that fits the battery tray(s).
