Dead Battery
« on: June 04, 2014, 10:06:20 PM »
Lets just say, hypothetically, key was left on and battery died. Would one need a new battery. The battery charged back up after 22 hours, but would that affect Cold Cranking Amps CCA. Hypothetically Speaking. :ohwow:

I have had bad lunch with those hypothetical scenarios.  I usually have problems with the battery later on....hypothetically.

Hypothetically speaking, now would be a good time to start searching for a new battery. A "friend" of mine did this and about a year later, he had to buy a new battery. Just saying.

Of Course it's dirty. It's hard to clean when the tires keep moving.

Thought so. Buddy of mine said it would be fine in warmer temps but that Cold Cranking would be next to nothing. Found a Yuasa YTX20HL-BS High Performance for 90 bucks, think i'll go ahead and get it. Kind of a bummer, just bought this battery bout year ago.

I remember that he bought one 3 years later

I think I meant to type "bad luck" but like your explination better.  Only thing, I don't drink Buttwiper even if it's free.  Ok, maybe if it's free.

I've always found that the can is much easier to lift when the bottles are empty.  :c :c :c :thumbup:

With that said, it's been a while since we've emptied a few. Which is what we should be doing and give this thread back to OldMan.  :thumbup:

Let's check the freshness levels of the Frogbranch soon!  :c :c :c
