Glad you agree,
	I was sure I was right but I rarely try to sound so Authoratative
on stuff.  But it just is not possable.  I went through this with a friend
with a "New" battery.  Kept blaming it on the car, well, I put in my
Battery and it worked fine for days.  His battery died in my car.  He went
and returned batterya and got a newer better one.  
	Has anyone ever tried those Optima Gell Cell Batteries.  They
would be a nice safety feature in a track car and would help with high
demand electrical systems like 500 watts of light Phil.  Ever considered
one, I just have trouble justifying $110 for one.
