Washington, Computer Sci Lines: 9 We normally use Sears. So far, we haven't seen the problem of "sudden demise" you mentioned with a sealed battery-- although the standard type that came with the car (a Sapporo) did just that, six months before the warrantee expired. One comment I would make is that you should get the biggest battery you can wedge into the engine compartment, regardless of the engine size. We have a 625-Amp on that little 2.6l engine, and could probably drive to Portland on the starter motor. Really simplifies cold starts. -Joe P.
