First day back on the road after Christmas Break. Car was really sllllllooooowwww for the last part of the way home: like about 5mph. 3 of the batteries showed under 12v when I got home! One of the trunk ones was the lowest and was easily replaced with MegaTron- He's the leader of the pack (no, seriously) at 12.59v after sitting out in the cold for 2 weeks so he replaced Max (Wal-Mart Maxx-29)who was at 11.34v. Wow, I just realized my batteries have names! Cool! Anyway, I had a battery on the desulfator over the two week break, and it was at 12.00v, which is way better than the 11.60v it ended at before the break. I switched the desulfator to the next lowest battery after Max. I just checked with my boat supply place and they have no batteries. They said that they usually get a ton in around February. I hope they are right.....
