I have had batteries fall out of the back of a PU and are in use to this day. 7+ years. Surrette ks 21s. If you want to talk to someone, I would suggest talking to Roy Early 3rd generation battery man. Roy sells ALOT of batteries and has built them from childhood! can you imagine 7 years old & making batteries AND he STILL is at it at 60+ years. 860 828-6007 you leave a message and ask Roy to call you back. Let him know that TUMP gave you his name. On Sep 13, 2013, at 11:45 PM, Jeff Clearwater wrote:
