[DML] Re: new battery

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

I like the ACDelco Model 78-7yr battery. It is a professional grade 
battery that is excellent IMHO - I got mine at NAPA for about $110. 
BTW, a master switch for the battery is a sure way of keeping the 
battery fresh for the next start if you let it set more than a few 
days. I'm on my second battery in nine years.
