Not possible around here, I don't think. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Nice. Where'd you get it? Do you know the RC? Is it a group 49 battery? I hope I can find it locally...

I once found a little east coast company really nice group 49 battery - 950 CCA and 160 minutes RC . Unfortunately it seems to cost hundreds of dollars to ship a battery cross-country. Bah. I'll have to find them again and ask who makes their batteries, maybe I can find a local distributor.
