Sorry, Steve, for coming up with another question instead of an answer. Most car batteries are lead-acid, of course. But weren't there once some nickel-cadmium car batteries? The advantage here, of course, is that it doesn't hurt a NiCd battery when you run it all the way down flat, while it does hurt a lead-acid type to do that. Anyone know of such a battery, in the size for a car battery? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Maher smaher@gi.com '80 V6anagon w/Chevy 2800 '66 Mustang Coupevertible, for sale Check out the cars at http://www.lookup.com/homepages/76242/home.html *** Friends don't let friends vote Democratic! *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------
