I bought it with one...though I have only used a coffee grinder with it... I don't need it usually but i'm glad it's there. Once I get settled with the engine problem, maybe I'll be able to save for a laptop! I rigged the radio with an switch so I can keep on the standard battery set-up, or switch it to the optima and keep it on that. I think one of the perks to the westy set up is that I won't need a portable with the "home entertainment system" in the dash. I'm s l o w l y shopping for a car stereo with remote that reads CD-RW and MP-3 format! >From: "Liz Maher" <maher@maherconsulting.com> >Reply-To: maher@maherconsulting.com >To: "Brian Cochran" <rangerbrian@hotmail.com> >Subject: Re: battery survey >Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2001 11:37:17 -0500 > >Hi Brian, > > > It''s a bummer there isn't a better fitting choice out there.
