Car wouldn't crank tonight. Put the charger on it for a while, still no crank, got impatient....

The new battery going in is the mighty little Odyssey PC680... Thought I'd jump it. BAM! Instant crank.

Guess I better get that rusto work done and give this little girl a solid home. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Just thought I'd share the pic because it looked funny to see jumper cables on the dinky battery that cranked the dead car to life with vigor.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Yep, I ran batteries from computer UPS in my plane. Started the 0-320 fine. Light, cheap and you could turn 'em upside down. But when they die they don't give you much warning.
