<VV> Battery Question

[Dave Morris "BigD"]

The guys building airplanes have discovered the Recombinant Gas (RG) 
batteries.  Enough cranking power to turn over a Corvair engine, totally 
sealed and can be installed upside down if you feel like it.  Definitely 
high tech and 21st Century.  Probably the only reason car manufacturers 
have not converted totally to RG is they are a little more pricey.  But if 
you're into high tech and hate battery acid... Google "Recombinant Gas 
Battery" and learn everything there is to know.

I bought a Panasonic 17AH battery for $40.
