Hello Everybody - I'm off the list for now, but you folks came to mind
when I recently discovered a source for Optima Deep Cycle Batteries.
These are new "Yellow Tops" @ $100 each + $25 s&h ( anywhere in the
continental U.S.). They're double posted (top & side) - so you can hook
them up either way. I remember the  chains of discussion on batteries -
maybe this will solve the problem. You can E me direct & I'll answer any
questions. Happy Vanning - Max
