10 year battery?

The panasonic usually will not recieve broadcast t.v. from other galaxys.
(legal disclaimer)
I caught a partial view of a show which MAY have been on one of the
Discovery channels over the recent holidays.
(The host formerly had a part in the series "Cheers".)
The venue was a battery manufacturing plant somewhere in the U.S.
The company makes 10 year batteries.

Has anyone else had the same halucination?

If so what is the name of the manufacturer?

From your clues, it sounds like a show called "Made in the USA", hosted by John Ratzenberger (sp) (Cliffie of Cheers). All I can help with.

the jci e-mail

Mr. Berry,

JCI makes batteries for Pep Boys, Advance Auto Parts and Interstate Batteries. TK Automotive carries the Interstate Battery in Kenosha
(1-262-842-0324) may be they some in stock. The phone number for the Milwaukee Interstate Battery Distributor is 1-414-481-1890. They may have the Group 49 in stock. They are located just off of Howard Ave by the Airport.

JCI does not make a 1200 amp Group 49 battery. The CCA rate on that battery is 850 amps.

Hope this helps you out.
Best Regards
Jeff Juds
