[Wing] Battery prices

[Robert McCallum]

Al;
What would you expect to happen to a battery if you let it freeze? I don't think that there are any
batteries that will stand up to that kind of abuse. If it's in such a poor state of charge that it
freezes then I would expect that the plates would be pretty badly damaged or distorted by the ice
and might even become shorted. Certainly have never see a battery which worked satisfactorily after
being frozen. Can't see how you can blame a manufacturer for that kind of failure.

Don't buy Odessey batteries.  I bought two of them and they both failed the first time they got
frozen .  They wouldn't hold a charge for more than one day after that
so I returned them and they charged me extra freight but would not warranty them.  Now I have a
wheel chair and it is just fine.  Expensive lesson.   Al   Rv6 flying
