Well, Terry, I appreciate your concern. But it shakes out like this: I've
owned my B for less than 2 months. All my other vehicles (all the way back
to my '55 Pontiac) have had a single 12-volt battery. I can't recall ever
getting into trouble by asking a dumb question. I have, however, had a few
(just a few!) times when I should have asked for advice and didn't, and
found myself in a real mess. Besides, what good is this list if we newbies
can't get a little bit of help from the "old-timers"?
For five or ten minutes of their time, a couple of folks (thanks, Wayne)
have actually ensured that I charge the batteries properly, and maybe made
my weekend a little safer and a little bit more fun (the B is up and
running. Down side: it's raining). So, you'll probably be seeing more dumb
questions from me in the future. Sorry.
