Got my new batteries installed and it works like new. Just in time for the cooler weather coming.
I used a different technique to change the batteries this time. Usually, I disconnect the wire harness from the batteries leaving the wiring in place and then remove the batteries.
It's always scary as hell that I arc the wrench when dealing with the positive side. I've melted more than one wrench before I figured out to insulate the wrench as best I could.
This time I left the wiring attached to the batteries and removed it as one piece. This way I have alot more room to deal with the connections outside of the car.
Much safer and easier. The only PITA is getting the battery clamp back on.
