Hey Bob, Walt and Bogdan, Thanks for the replies. I will be getting a spare battery to keep on the shelf, and eventually (next week) replacing the old battery. I'm going with Walt's theory of the battery possibly freezing. That idea had not occurred to me because it doesn't usually get that cold here, but I know for sure it did this year a couple of times. Anyway the electrolyte level in the cells was ok, the battery took a charge and I'm back in business. The battery is 12-18 months old, i've also been going through them at the same rate, and am going to get a spare for the shelf.Thanks- Conall- Someday everything is gonna be different ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com>From: "R.
