Vibration. The trick when one owns a jetski, needs a new battery, and
is low on cash: buy a motorcycle battery. $19.95 from Kragen or Sears.
The problem: The battery might only last 1 or 2 weekends. The difference
between the $19.95 motorcycle battery and the $59.95 jetski battery, is the
plates on the jetski battery are a lot thicker, with much thicker/heavier
plastic vs.
the motorcycle battery.. Of course the advantage is obvious if you can
return the
motorcycle battery under warranty ! :)

(I would NEVER do such a thing.. I've only read about it)
