Yup, I'll probably be selling some used Optimas that will have 70-80% of their rated capacity sometime in the next couple of months. They are getting a rest this week, as I have to replace the rear axle bearings in the Sparrow. >However, the Optimas do seem to last significantly longer if you can >find a way to avoid such deep discharges. i.e. Only drive really short distances, which I can't do. I always wonder about all these people that talk about how they've put 1000 miles on their car in 2 years. It sounds to me like they don't actually USE the car, just take it around for a little fun and showoff every now and then. My normal commute will put about 10,000 miles a year on a vehicle. -- John G. Lussmyer mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Dragons soar and Tigers prowl while I dream.... http://www.CasaDelGato.com
