In the absence of a Vulcan mind meld with Richard Perez and other battery experts the next best thing is questions to this group. The more specific the question, the greater the possibility of getting facts instead of opinion (in my opinion). I think $15 is too much for the thin, general manual. Do any distributors still give it for free?
