Re: Lansing District 2009

We hauled our supply of batteries down to the friendly, local Tractor Supply Co. (The "NC" in NC GEARS stands for Newaygo County after all) and had them load tested:

Battery Year Result (CCA)
A 2007 149
B 2008 175
C 2009 ZILCH (11 volts still)
D 2008 182
E 2009 186
F 2007 149
Exide 2004 171

Good reason to buy extra new batteries instead of just keeping the old ones forever (unless they are the Exides). Of course it was the infamous "Battery C" that let us down.

Gotta like those FiM rankings. Too bad we won't be that high after next weeks' events. We're looking forward to State. I wonder if we couldought to get a few new MK batteries between now and then...
