Re: Starting Problem-Batteries

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

Definatly clean all of the "big" grounds. They could cause all kinds 
of problems. Although that may be the source of the trouble (and it's 
easy to check with a voltmeter) I have found that especially on the 
sealed batteries they can work and all of a sudden fail and then work 
again. It seems that they can develop a bad connection internaly. The 
best way to test for this is with a load tester. Since most people 
don't have them just go to a Sears or other large chain store. Most 
will test your car for free including an alternater test. They do it 
so they can sell batteries. If your battery is over 4 years old it can 
no longer be trusted to still have full capacity. a load tester will 
show you this. On the Delorean out-of-sight-is-out-of-mind. Since you 
rarely see the battery it is forgotten and neglected until it is dead. 
A battery that has been allowed to be completly drained several times 
will never fully recharge. In storing the car the battery SHOULD be 
removed, cleaned, and kept recharged. If you load test it before 
reinstalling you will know that you have a battery you can trust.
