I bought one of those Champion batteries. Lasted less than a month. Cost me $100 to have my charging system diagnosed because I couldn't believe it was the brand new battery that was the problem. I have had excellent experiences with the Die Hard batteries, *except* for the Die-Hard Gold. This one will never recover if it ever gets completely drained, unlike the standard Die-Hard, which lives up to its name. YMMV on all of this, of course... -David =============================================================================== David Schwarze '73 VW Safare Custom Camper (Da Boat) SAIC Comsystems, San Diego '73 Capri GT 2800 (Da Beast) schwarze@nosc.mil '87 Mustang Lx 5.0 (Da Bruiser?) ===============================================================================
