Re: Battery Straps.

["John Hervey" <dherv10@xxxx>]

Group, Joe is correct that a battery would take a tremendous amount 
of jarring to cause the battery to hop around, But times over the 
tracks, pot holes, curbs and continued (vibration) from an unsecure 
battery will cause the battery to go bad faster. If you don't believe 
me, then tell me how many of you have had a battery go bad from a 
dead cell and you were stranded and the battery was in the car less 
than two years. Any body that works on cars will tell you, if there 
not trying to sell batteries to strap/bolt it down. When I was in the 
electronics business, I called on Globe Union in Garland,Tx. and they 
told me what I'm telling you. The information isn't unfounded. It's 
from experience. Just trying to help some of us,to not add another 
thing to the list of the De Lorean's stranding you/me.
