Barb and all,
Great idea Barb, if you can fit two batteries under the bonnet. I can't
manage to in my little Suzuki 4WD. There used to be a car battery in
Australia by the brand name of "Switch", it was one and a half batteries al=
l
in one unit. If you flattened the main part you'd open the bonnet and set
the switch to the spare cells which had enough charge in them to start a ca=
r
engine. I used to have a Switch battery, but they don't make them any more=
.
Seems like a good idea wasted.
