Re: [ST] Cranky start

[Steve Lawler <slawler@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Now this is odd. My 2001 ST has about 27000 miles on it and I still have 
the original battery. I've never put it on a battery tender or anything 
else. (I attribute its longevity to my 10-11 months of usage per year.) 
The only time that it ever gave me a problem was when it sat unused for 
about a month and a half. Usually it takes three cranks before she turns 
over. Lately it seems that it takes a couple of extra cranks to start 
her up. Sometimes, when I stop for gas after creeping through the 
Holland Tunnel* during evening rush hour, it will be very hesitant to 
restart. I figured that this might be a sign that the battery is on its 
way to that great big battery store in the sky but now you say this a 
feature?

I'm confused.

* This is the tunnel that runs between lower Manhattan and New Jersey 
and has nothing to do with the land of tulip, windmills and dikes**. ;-)

** Get your mind out of the gutter. I'm talking about levees. BTW If you 
know of any little Dutch boys with very fat fingers please have them 
report to New Orleans.
