Please Read "Batteries discharged while sitting" ?

[John Kissel]

Just my luck, my yellow top that was in the racecar would not want to keep up even with charging every week or so. Put it in my suburban and it works like great. We had to go to advance one sat. last july as my friends were closed and bought a gold 78-2 for her TrailBlazerSS. worked fine until wed. am of this week. When it was like 1 degrees worked great. Tues. night it was cold and very foggy and damp, batt went down to 9 volts and no start. Dampness maybe made a circuit somehow to discharge it to ground, I don't know. Took a loong time to charge it to get it in the garage. Got a replacement. It seems that my chargers work better when pluged into an outlet than a power strip or extension cord. Resistance in cords, again I don't know. I was always told if you put a battery down on concrete it will discharge, so I put them on a board. John Kissel
