Subject:Input on Prestone jumpstart battery?
From:Max/Joyce Wellhouse
Date:Sun, 13 Sep 1998 12:49:51 -0500

Have any of the list members bought the $95 Prestone "sealed" lead acid
baterry w/ built in jumpstart cables and charger?  Hey Bullwinkle, LOOK.. A
message in a bottle....
HMMMM..... Fan mail from some Flounder?  Suposed to have 400cca and 17 amp
hours.  How does this compare to the optima?  The prestone unit is totally
self contained w/ carry handle, 12v cig outlet and weighs 18#.   Seems like
this would be a decent alternate for  automatic owners that can't roll
start their vehicles  and others needing to use cell phone outside the
vehicle/ stereo/PA amps etc.  Target sells a Car and Driver brand also w/
the 400 cca#, but didn't give the  amp hours.  it was only $60.  Found the
prestone unit at Wal Mart.  Inquiring skulls want to know.
