Re: [T3] Do I need a new battery?

["Keith Park" <topnotch@nycap.rr.com>]

Its also probably ready to explode!

Lets see... My Opels last battery was a Delco (the best) and lasted 11 years
Last battery in the Square lasted 9 years... an interstate, the one in there
now is 6 years old.
Had a sears diehard 55 last 9 years in my old pontiac...

I reccomend interstate, Delco's are better but alot more $$.
