That's what I figured. Once the life is up on those batteries, you have to replace the whole bank, right? I guess if you get the vehicle cheap enough and everything else works, you just figure the batteries into the price and they should last another 5-10 years?

It's now taking up space in my garage and is just another project for me to restore. Where was my intervention? Oh yah, I ignored Raz's well intended advice.
