Is this true?  Why would an auto manufacturer go to the expense of installing a battery that did nothing?  I knew that my van had the battery box, but no battery.  I assumed that was because other vans did have a battery, hooked up to do things, like run a refrigerator or lights.  Not so, huh?  You're right, sounds silly, or more properly put, stupid.  I guess you can sell the dumbest things to some people.
