Re: [FWDLK] slow cranking 361

["mr. LOUTHAN" <newport61@xxxxxxx>]

might be a good idea to try anudder battery, since new batteries are known 
to sit on the shelves in the warehouse for months and can lose charge. Good 
idea to learn the date code (every battery has one) so you can tell how long 
it has been since manufacture. I have seen some that were a year old before 
being sold. does not mean they are bad.....just need a kick to get going..
