Subject:Replacement Battery and aux. battery
From:Joachim Preiss

I need a new battery for my 85 westy. The current one doesn't hold a lot of
charge and winter's approaching ...

Can anybody recommend a certain brand and source? I checked ntb.com, and they
offer the DieHard WeatherHandler� North for $60, and the DieHard International
for $100. The web site doesn't tell me what Amp Hours the units have which I
am used to, only the Cold Cranking Amps, and they are 540 vs. 650.

I am thinking about installing an auxiliary battery at the same time. Should I
use the identical type as the main battery, or something 'more affordable'?

Thanks!
 Joachim
