you sure the plain old 1315 can take 400 A? alistair .

(unless I misunderstand how these things are wired). Sounds like a decent unit for the price, but I'll probably just go with the factory style setup if I ever get around to it, and use jumper cables if I have starting issues. So a G48 battery also fits, but has higher capacity? Good to know... |
