back on XLR.Net after a bit of an absence

[CanadianViking]

finally back after a bit of an absence. Things got super busy at the office which kept me away in May. Then I was away on vacation in Europe for June. While in Europe we experienced massive flooding in Calgary so I needed to get home. Thankfully, my place was saved but I've been busy with recovery work since getting home.

My XLR looked pretty sad, so I wanted to take it out for a spin. unfortunately the optima red top battery I had installed in January was completely dead - to the point where I couldn't even charge it! Hopefully I'll get some time this week to pickup a new battery.

it was so great to see Rod is doing well and able to get out for a ride in his XLR - that made my day!

Cheers,

thanks... Made my day as well. Glad your home was saved from the flooding.

It's good to hear that you didn't have any damage from the floods.

I would check with the place you purchased the battery. Optima battery's have a 10,000 start guarantee. If you just purchased it jan. they should replace it for free. The big question is what is draining your battery. With a deep cycle you should get more than 6 months out of it. I would purchase a battery tender if not a everyday car. Even if you do drive her a lot the winters are surely long there in canada.

thanks everyone.

Yes, a battery tender is definitely in order before winter.
