I know the alarm system drains my battery, but over the last three weeks, it really did it in - 'vert was dead, recharged it for a while, tried to start it again, went dead again - only that when it did, now the charger blew its fuse due to too many amps pulled by the battery ... guess I need to find a new one if I don't want to switch the battery between the 'hawk and the 'maro .... |

I remember somebody disconnected the Battery to give it a chance to recover enough to start, then when re-connected the Alarmsystem started to talk, draining the Battery before there was a chance to restart the car... Take that unneccessary stuff off. |

Optima Reds are the best. My Jeep came with it from the factory. |

... need to check with some places here, those "US-Style" batteries are hard to get ... most/all german/european cars come with the other style connectors ... |

Am I blind? All I see there are batteries that would fit any german/import brand car, but not the "screw-in" type connections as we need for an F-Body ... !? |

if you're looking at Optimas, they have both top and side post on them with covers for which ever ones you don't use. |

Found new gel battery turned in at our Battery shed again... but only for the Forces to be issued to, if no unit comes to get it, I will have to send to recycling with the several hundred thousend tons yearly.... 
Why can't all those mechanics order the right size in the beginning? We get a lot of that stuff from downrange and actually we're not supposed to take Haz Mat any more... but impossible for us to send it back.
