Let me know if you > find a good deal on the Optima. A battery that has been stored and not used for a few months will often benefit from a long slow charge. I've had them come back almost as good as new with as much as 2 weeks of trickle charge, although 1 week is more normal. DON'T try to speed this up by faster charging, as that does more harm than good to a battery in this condition. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
