Love Charged Battery

Friday evening at the parents, we had to call AAA to jump start my car (thank you again Dad & Pauline!) because of a dead battery. Saturday morning the car started fine and I went to my workshop, and home again without incident. Sunday = no need for the car. This morning, the car sort…
