The second one, that 8D battery is still only drawing about .5 amps after 24 hours. I need to get in there and check the waster / acid levels. My attempt today failed. So Tomorrow I'm going to build a support for the battery out of some scrap 2x4's and drag it 1/2 way out of there. I looked it up today and the 8D weighs 162 pounds.

Ken,

Not that you are prone to doing stupid things, but please be careful.

Some 8Ds are 162, but I have had two over scales that were 172 and 174. Even 4Ds that are supposed to be 140 come in heavy. So heavy that to get them out of the boat, I would often rig lifting gear of booms, spinnaker poles and halyards to do the job. If you have to put it in a dingy, you have to count it as a person. This is just part of why I am such a proponent of using GC2s and the like. (And, you can get GC2s at Sams/Costco.)

I am bringing your scales, and my handtruck to Elkhart. Thank you, I may ask for more help at the next work rally.

Matt
