    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1). You purchased a YOUSA battery.

Just kidding. After reading that I can see why my batterys don't make it. I don't think I have done my die hard in though. I think it is charging system.
 
Good info! When I started working at a service station as a teenager, I was told never to sit a battery on the concrete to charge it. Never knew why, though. Thought it might just be an 'old mechanic's tale.' Now I finally learn why, and that I don't have to worry about it any more!

Old habits die hard...I still can't set a battery directly on concrete :?
 
It really is true myth.
battery on concrete or any other conductive surface or grounded surface will trickle dis-charge the battery. As I know and have been told for 40+years.
I rarely recovered a battery stored that way.
SO it SEEMS to be true unless the newer polymers of the battery cases today wont (leak)..
My story, I'm sticking with it.
