Subject:      which battery for Westy?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Looks like I need to replace the battery in my Westfalia. I've had no trouble
with the existing Die Hard and am considering using the same battery. The
battery has been in the bus since I bought it four years ago and I don't know
how old it was then. It is a little sluggish on the starts. My bus also has
been sitting for most of the winters since I have owned it as I only use it
in the Summers. The indicatpor light in the kitchen shows yellow even after
the bus has been run for a while. And the cranking is a bit slow.

Now I'll have it checked, but I'm guessing it's time.

Also, I run only one battery in the Camper, I haven't gotten to the dual
battery upgrade yet. But I don't use much of the bus's battery when I'm
camping with the exception of powering the fresh water pump.

Any suggestions or experiences will be appreciated.

TIA
