Battery
Where are you buying your batteries from? Mine died. Charged it up, took to get checked and it is dead, will not hold a charge. Guy at parts store told me it needed a charger not the trickle charge. I never put it on 2 amp to charge always left it on the 6. Something going on with new batteries that they need some new chargers or what? Let me know, Thanks.

once discharged a battery looses much of it's capacity to recharge.
a tender will help to maintain a charge on a fully charged battery, but cannot restore a discharged battery- for that a "real" battery charger is needed...like 5 amps or so...24 hours.
if the battery is dead, dead, dead and falls on it's face when load tested- the link above is for the deka big krank. $100.
mine shipped from VA, so you might get one pretty quick if you ordered from them
I ordered through amazon as I could use my dicovercard points..so "free" - kinda.

Thanks for the info, I bought a big crank last year and it died already. Was hoping to find some other brand that was not to expensive.

I bought a Deka ETX-30L from Bohannon battery and it's been running strong for 2 years now in my 03 EG with big bore and Andrews cams.
