[urq] new battery

[Robert A Dupree]

First of all I'm dumbfounded that there are now three UrQ's in Houston by the sounds of it.

But on the battery subject I'm a believer and consumer in Interstate products.
The primary distribution depot for Interstate in Houston was not too far from my old place near the Museum District, so getting odd sizes was no problem.

I've bought the previous MTP-91 in the past and it's worked brilliantly, as has the MT-48 since down south we rarely need massive cranking power for cold-start.	I do recall at one point I had to un-dent the battery compartment back to it's original form (Thanks Steamboat...) in order to fit the MTP-91 correctly in terms of mounting height.
