[T3] New battery time!


Well today, 3 weeks short of its 9th birthday (since I bought it) my
Interstate 60 monther made it obvious that the end was imminent... cranking
pretty slowly. I replaced it with an Interstate 75 Monther.... lets go for
10 years this time!!!

I popped the caps on the old one and MAN those plates were thin!  And rather
warped.... the top bus bar was breaking apart... I think I got my money's
worth!  It was definitely time.

When I took it out I found that all the oil I painted underneath it to
preserve the pan had pretty much evaporated in the last 9 years, I reoiled
it.  When I replace the interior soon I will really have to go in there and
take care of things in a more permanent manner
