indicator of sustaining capacity.  It appeared that either LOAD testing of
the battery or periodic replacement were the two favored approaches.  Load
testing being the easiest and least expensive if you had a LOADing device.

I notice in the DAMARK catalog a 100 amp battery load tester for $19.99
tests six and twelve volt batteries and I have ordered one.  If anyone

else

is interested the part number is  B-40440-735122 and the web site that it
can be ordered from by catalog is www.damark.com  if interested.  No

vested

interest in the company or product.

    Ed and All,

        Harbor Freight has a 6-12 volt load tester currently on sale in their
 catalog for $19.99 regularly $27.99.The part number is 06317-9HTH. Friend of
 mine used one on the battery of his C-170. Seemed to work OK. The local store
 here in Okla City had them at the same price recently.
