[Mgs] Fw: Battery Options

Subject: Re: [Mgs] Battery Options


 Pete: I leave it connected to a Battery Tender and start the car about once 
a month. I don't ever drive it on our roads here in Rhode Island until the 
salt has been washed away by the spring rain.  The old Interstate that is in 
there now is at least 15 years old. The only reason it finally died is that 
it went dry. When I checked it over the weekend I noticed it was dry and 
immediately refilled it with distilled water but two days later and it 
hasn't taken the charge so I am assuming that it is dead. It served me well.

 At least I did finally locate and fix an oil leak that has been giving me 
fits! The location of the battery makes it a pain to check regularly and I 
know that is no excuse. I will be more vigilant in the future.
