    battery advice for a sprinter

    You're comparing a D4 with a battery installed complete with, a D2 cash & carry no battery, no cables, no lugs, no fuses, no isolator and no labor. I guess when you compare it that way, yeah, it is high.

    What makes it unreliable? Plus, it wasn't a survey, it was an analysis of already existing recorded customer service calls. They examined more than 600,000 phone calls from the past 12 months, calls that were placed by consumers to businesses across 30 industries, including cable and satellite...

    battery advice for a sprinter

    Buying more amp hour capacity than is needed is overkill. It's a delicate balance. It would be great to have a gazillion amp hours in a house bank, but along with it comes the weight of the lead and capacity you'll never use. It would be great to use AWG #4/0 or even thicker battery cable for a...

    Greetings from Boston. If you're out of musket balls, I could probably find some ball bearings that would work.

    Congratulations Ohio! You simultaneously made the list of those who Curse the Most (top of the list, actually) and the list of those least likely to say “please” and “thank you.” (Link to larger, more detailed image - http://marchexdotcom.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/cursing.gif) Ohio...

    battery advice for a sprinter

    Actually, they're not. What he has there are very high end AGM batteries. Very well constructed, extremely efficient, they right up there in quality (and price) with Concord Lifeline, and like the Concords they surpass the quality of Odyssey, Deka and Trojan AGM batteries, which are excellent...

    battery advice for a sprinter

    A battery isolator won't work with a Bosch (or Valeo) alternator on a Sprinter. Instead you need a Battery Separator. The one at the link (model# 1315-200) is the one to get. You don't need to get that particular brand, of course, as any Battery Combiner/Separator that does the same thing is...

    After reading comments, in this thread, about abortion and grazers, I have to agree.

    Well, no, it's not necessarily true, as there are usually exceptions to most things, but it's generally true. Layout's statement was true, in the general context, as Japanese and American cultures are so different that you can't just take the ways of one culture and plop them into the other and...

    battery advice for a sprinter

    Assuming the battery you are talking about is not your cranking battery, and you are talking about an auxiliary battery, any deep cycle marine type battery (or "truck" battery, since they're the same thing) will be fine, since the Webasto doesn't draw all that much current (about 2 amps an...

    GOP thinks racism ended.

    Yeah, and it's a public form. And since I brought up the disparity between blacks here versus elsewhere, as the subject of visits to foreign lands were brought up, it was only prudent and proper that I respond to that subject, even though I wasn't specifically asked to do so.

    GOP thinks racism ended.

    Projection has nothing to do with it. And when he stated, "The whiners and complainers here have no idea what it is like on foreign soil in many places," you responded with "You have know idea where I've been, so it would be prudent not to assume I haven't visited foreign soils as you have...

    It's possible, but JIT inventory doesn't seem to fit into that context. If it did, then JIT, or Lean Manufacturing, would only work in certain cultural paradigms. The fact that it works in all cultures would indicate that it's not culture based, but business based. The Toyota system was based...

    I intentionally left that part of the article out of the quoted text, knowing that most people would read what I posted and wouldn't click through to the full article. I did that to prevent someone from making some convoluted off-topic, stupid, asinine comment. It didn't work.
