I must object>  Despite all the bad press that the Die Hard has gotten on
this list, I've had (apparently) amazing luck with them in my '83 Ur-q.  Of
course, after the first DieHard replacement for the second Audi battery died
after 6 years, I replaced that one with another, but it's the one for
Porsches.  It has never failed to start, even after sitting for months at a
time.  Now, it's not too cold stressed here in Louisiana, just heat
stressed...which was, I guess, the opposite of the older Diehard used in
Colorado for five years.

Methinks that more of the problems are related to Audi electricals and
drains from somewhere.  I know I've got mixed feelings about selling the
always dependable '83 because I've bought a "constantly in need of a jump or
push start" '85.
