|  Battery replacement time of the year.  |
|  16 Sep 12 09:39:12  |
 The early fall season is battery replacement time of the year. I have been alternating driving my 2012 Charger and my 2002 Monte Carlo - every other week (mixing some days riding the HD when the weather permits). I went out to drive the Monte Carlo yesterday morning and got the weak battery "click click clicking" noise. Wouldn't turn over. Then I was trying to think when the battery was last replaced - and it seemed like it wasn't that long ago. I keep everything logged when I do anything with my vehicles and took a look. Turns out the battery was replaced exactly 3 years ago - on a 3 year warranty battery. The years seem to go by much faster as you get older.. Doesn't seem like 3 years, as I remember replacing it like it was yesterday. I recharged it and it starts again, but it will probably have to be replaced as I figure it will go dead again. They just don't make long lasting batteries like they used to. Does anyone have any recommendations for decent batteries? I currently have a Sears Diehard - Gold in the Monte Carlo. At least it lasted as long as the warranty, which some don't even do that. - Mark --- WWIVToss v.1.50 * Origin: http://www.weather-station.org * Bel Air, MD -USA (1:261/1304.0) |
