too bad you don't live out here.  Gary is a mobile x-ray repairman.  he gets us free batteries that he removes from the trucks.  even after the battery's performance drops for x-ray levels they have plenty of life left in them.  I have been running one for 2 years now.  they are the same size as concordes.  Gary points out that they have more plates than the concordes, absolutely the best made.  perhaps you could locate a similar guy in FL.  with all the retirees down there it is probably the x-ray capital :-)

Actually, it's only been a couple of months since I replaced the battery. I guess those lawnmower batteries aren't what they used to be :)
Actually, seems that the "Everstart"s lasted longer than the "Champion"s I've been using the last couple of times.
Or the new starter with the RWS PSRU is more demanding than the one I had on the Ross?

Anyway, plunking down $17 for a new battery seems way extravagant  - I think I'll try charging it first :)

Finn, IMHO the best way to fix low voltage is to buy a new battery and I know that is hard for you to acceptSmiley emoticon

Finn, FWIW...It has helped my starting, with low voltage, to pull the prop through a couple of turns before hitting the start button.
