<VV> Batteries

[Rick & Janet Norris]

So your a Fleet manager huh? Does that mean your in charge of all the
enemas???
I use nothing but Optima batteries in all my rides. They give long life,
will take repeated total discharges and they give off no gasses. I started
out with one in my V8 Vair and have since installed them in everything. I
love'em!
