Thank you again Howard for the info on the battery tenders. I will definitely get one for each car. I wanted the "permanent" mount as raising these hoods, especially the 55, can be tricky for me.

55PackardGuy raises a point that is almost a definition of me: I always assume that the cause is the absolute worst that can happen. When I was working that kind of attitude paid me very well as it was called "Risk Management". When you are on your own, it's called paranoia - and usually winds up paying suppliers very well - at my expense. This group has saved me plenty.

As for a replacement battery, I'm tempted to go for the 975 CCA even though it's a little too big for the tray but we'll see.

My thanks again to everyone for guiding me through this and keeping me "grounded".

PS. I tried the '55 today and she started right up. Very gratifying!
