FWIW,
When the oem battery went in my dak it just died... I pulled up to my bro's
house, ran up to the door knocked.. no one was home.. hoped in the dak and
nothing.. not even a radio.. I tried to jump it w/ a ferd that was a
diesel.. w/ two batteries and nothing.. left it one the cables for atleast
15 min..... still nothing.. So I went down to Hi/lo and bought a battery w/
a lifetime warranty.. So far I've put two hi/lo batteries in under their
warranty...
Hop.
