When it comes time for a battery, it is going to be a sealed battery for sure. No more leaking acid worries, regardless of a battery pad/liner.

Online battery purchases are 25% off at Pep Boys right now. But be careful about the end date because there appears to be some confusion on their own site about when the sale ends. One link says the end of May while others say the end of June. Might want to call a store to verify. Here is what gets pulled up when doing a search for Bosch AGM batteries: https://www.pepboys.com/search/?term=bosch+agm+battery Example ... |

They just don't do well in cars that sit a long time- and if you run them down too far you cant just charge them back up the standard way - this is what so many have issues with. ( per the battery store expert- they don't recharge by just hooking up a charger to them like lead acid) Phil |
