What an original (and short...) reply to a highly technical post...:-)

Don't worry, be happy! (even if your beloved vanagon goes Kaput and you get
stranded out in the wild...:-)

I'd like to agree with you, but I can't.
You see, the battery system (as many others) is crucial for proper operation
of the car (and MY comfort out there in the woods. I hate push starting uphill
with no one to help me...).

I believe in preventive measures, not in crisis control (unless it's sprung on
you). If the battery system is sick, it will defenitely hit you when you're
the least prepared. It's not only expensive (about $150 for a new battery) but
also a nusiance getting stuck.
The Vanagon electrical is sick from the beginning. If I can do something about
it, I will.
But thanks for the comforting remark.

cheers,
           T-man
