Subject:Replacing the battery in '84 Vanagon . . .
From:Thomas Kitts

Well, this winter's cold snap seemed to have killed off my batteries
(apparently a duel set up).

Bought the Westie last May so I don't know how old the batteries are
but they don't seem to recharge when driving. They jump easily and
nothing else seems to be an issue. Thing worked fine before the winter
freeze in December.

Going to get the batteries tested today, as well as a checked for an
unknown draw, and was wondering what I should replace the batteries
with if it is needed. Suggestions anyone? I scanned the archives and
didn't find anything very clear. I just want a dependable start with
the existing wiring.

If I can get this dealt with asap, and get a dependable fire-up, I
might make it to the Fishermen's Bend get-together to ask many more
questions. Many more questions, indeed.

TIA,

Thomas
