I knew you would all enjoy that little bit of FLAPS genius bar advice. My account was a summary of my wife's version. He may have said something vaguley intelligent but I can't imagine what is is. He made wife nervous that we would "burn up" the brand new battery. This is on her 90 Honda Accord.

Say, I had an Isuzu Trooper that ate batteries in about 18 months. Maybe it was the clamps....

To be fair, the guy did spot a bad motor mount that I hadn't noticed before.
