[RE-wrenches] Interstate Batteries

[Dan Fink]

Hi Drake.
Our local head battery Wrench gets  a tremendous deal locally on 
Interstate L-16s, at about the same break as you describe.
There are over a dozen systems up here that use them now, including mine.
We have seen no issues whatsoever, though he recommends to stick with 
the plain old L16 type, NOT the high capacity.

PS -- How can you identify a Wrench who specializes in battery banks 
like our neighbor?
Lean and wiry, bulging biceps, stooped-over walk, and "I love my 
chiropractor" bumper sticker on an old 1-ton truck!
