The Importance of Good Batteries
Recently, I decided it was time to clean up my Chevy Suburban, and get it sold. Realizing that this market isn’t necessarily the best for selling a large, gas guzzling vehicle, I made the choice to do it anyway. Why? Mostly because I actually had very little money in the vehicle, so anything I was able to get from a sale would be nearly all profit.
Of course the first thing I needed to do was get the truck cleaned up and start fixing all those “little things” that never get done when you are driving a vehicle full time. The truck had been sitting out at the side of the house for over a year, and when I went to start it, I remembered that I’d wisely removed the batter cables.
The reason for disconnecting those cables was to save the battery. Well either I waited too long or the battery was not very good quality when I purchased it. Fortunately for me, I bought it at a local auto parts house that stood behind their products.
All that was necessary was for me to bring in the battery. They tested it, and when it wouldn’t hold a charge, they actually sold me a new one at a deep discount. That was a very cool thing to have happened!
