Yup, they grow on APS trees over here but we're out of season right now
Well they might sell some over here, just don't know. My brother-in-law is the expert on stuff like that, but I'm a bit wary since he all but disected me over my WAI, LGB and block heater experiments. Better know what I'm asking before I do.

You made me realize that while I (like you) told others to test the voltage of their 12V battery, I didn't follow that advice myself even though I did on previous cars and all the bikes I had. Will do so tomorrow.

One map light left on accidentally ran my battery flat in just 10 hours or so. I did not expect that to happen as my car was barely 1 year old .
It won't happen again as the map lights are now LEDs. I rely on my ability to make the same mistake twice .

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
