Sounds like you and I have exactly the same battery experience, Larry. This is the 4th season on my two 11.5 lb Braille batteries. I even completely killed them once last year by leaving the water pump on for 5 hours...discovered this fact when they called us up for first round. Charged them for 15 minutes or so, the car started, and I still beat a few people to the lanes.
