Well, after some hassle, battery #3 arrived last week With some
trepidation, I went through the routine again. More electrolyte and
charging. I noticed that as soon as I hooked the charger up at 10 amps, the
meter indicated that it was charging. The first two indicated just the
opposite.
It seems that this battery is a good one! It starts the car w/ no
trouble (a bone stock 43 hp Bugeye) and will run the lights, turn signals,
fan motor, wipers, and horn all at once w/ the engine off! I think I have a
keeper here.
The folks at Antique Auto Battery went from "this never happens" to "it
rarely happens". They did make the battery right but did not want to
reimburse me for the wasted electrolyte so they didn't.
If the 3rd time is the charm, I'd suggest not waiting until two weeks
before "the show" to order one of their batteries, even though they can get
one in about ten days. This whole ordeal took nearly two months. I waited
because I didn't want to have a battery lying around w/ a 90 day replacement
warranty for a couple of months before I used it.
Long story short-two defective batteries back to back but they made it
right for me!!
