Make sure you get the posts submerged with your hands in it.

Actually lasted a long time before I sold it. I ran everything in there, stereo system, a/c all the time, lights, etc. and never had a problem. And who knows how long the other guy I sold it to left it in there.

That's nice. I'd like to do the same thing, especially since I don't drive mine in the winter, I thought I could get away with a mower battery or something. Not sure I could spring for $130, but that's not that bad of a price.

He's referring to cca. I wonder if that battery can start a car up at the ski resorts(single digit temperatures, etc).
12v is 12v.
Eh, I don't really care what he was refering to, as long as whatever I said was right, even if it's not relavent. ;)
