	Sears batteries "if" installed properly, should not leak any
sooner that any other batteries.  The problem is the "monkeys" that
install them @ your friendly Sears dont know (+) from (-). 


	The NEW INCRED-A-CELL batttery has a maximum of 695 cold cranking ampers.  The fact that you should be looking @ instead of the instant power is 
how long can the battery keep that up for.  The sealed batteries tend to drop
off quicker that the conventional acid type.  I have had poor luck using those
batteries in applications where adverse conditions require a longer/higher output for a substained period of time (boats, generators, etc).  The sealed type
claim-to-fame is that the last longer and are not "opened" to the environment.
That may of may not be what you NEED, not what you WANT.
