    0.jpg So at the last couple of show days my truck was hard to start or didn't !
    Then hard to jump. mine you I RUN a Odyssey PC34/78 PC1500 battery.
    These are a military grade battery with a 12 year self life & a 4 year replacement warranty.
    Got home & checked my log book,, the first one was bought in 2009, was replace after a alternator failure, & the 2nd was 2014. The first was used has a back up . 15 & 10 years old, 10 years is the life cycle, so then with both coming up to 13.5 volts with the battery maintainer , would hold the charge.
    A new battery was in order & no one in my area stocked the one I run, amazon came though again , $40 shipping bring the total to $420, but hey I'm good for another 10 years
    Just may out live me!

    That's awesome. Got plan A, B, C!! Almost feels like you should find another lil pick up and drop one in.. haha.

    What kind of battery tender do you use?
    I have a battery tender 800 running parallel batteries.
