[i]"implies that you did that more than once."[/i]
Oh yes, it will sit 2 weeks 10-20 x/yr and still does. But it is always strong at the end of the two weeks and gets a LONG run regularly - 30-100 miles regularly.
But i guess you are saying that will do it, with no intervening symptoms ( the part i frankly find hard to accept)
[i]"Your horse is out of your barn but remember that this forum is not just here to help people as they ask questions but to serve as a source of information for people who have problems and are searching the web for help."[/i]
Yep, agree. That's why i want the fuzziness removed - for all and for me in the future. I still find it fuzzy, by the way. A situation that incrementally causes a battery to not take charge shoudl result is a slowly dying battery, not one that cranks like a champ in zero degree weather after a two week sit. Still nto adding up for me.
[i]"To solve the sulfation problem you either buy or borrow a desulfating charger."[/i]
yea, that's the rub. I looked in the fridge and it wasn't there. Nor did the two local shops i tried, and traveling is simply not worth it for an old battery that wont live long anyway. The more i hear, the less i think its much pf a practical solution - more of a curiosity to know what happened.
If i can simply make all my batteries last 8+ years i'll be thrilled. Hint: leave them for two weeks regularly :-) Just reading the facts, i cant exp[lain it either.
