Re: Crossfire Battery
ah, What About The Good Old Days!. Been A Mechanic Since About The Middle 50's And Got My Car Dealers License In 65 And Went Full Time In 69 And Retired About 3 Years Ago. I Can Well Remember The Days When We Could Get From 5-7 Years Out Of A Battery. I Bought A 1963 Studebaker Avanti Some Years Back, Maybe Say 8 Years Or So And The Original Owners Son Had Just Put In A New Battery The Year Before!, As It Still Had The Original Battery!!. Car Was A One Owner, Only Driven In The Summer And Then Only In Dry Weather And Had 19,000 Original Miles, So The Car Was Stored Most Of The Time In A Dry, Heated Storage Space, So The Original Battery Was In There For About 35 Years!!!!!. Hey, That Is What He Told Me And He Had No Reason To Lie, As It Made No Difference To Me, But I Have Seen Many 5-7 Year Batterys Back Then. I Do Understand That These New Computer Powered Cars Are Much Harder On Batteries Due To Some Small Constant Drain To The Computer Memories Etc But Then Again!!!!!!!!. Oh, Again The Caps Are For Visability And Ease Of Typing, Not For Any Other Reason, My Choice.
