Trying a new battery

Postby Greenblood » Thu Feb 17, 2011 2:49 pm

While trying to start the 7 after being dormant for 4+ months I noticed the cranking slowed down quickly.
So I was looking for a new battery, I was thinking about a Oddesy, the same as the race bike but stumbled onto this place....
