Hello everyone! Many thanks for the input. I will give these tests a shot. For
now, I have ordered a new battery to have enough cranking power. I hope this is
the case.
I apologize for answering so late but I forgot my old username and had to unsubscribe
and re subscribe.
You can now reach me at username EfraimOtero.
When I get my new earthX battery I will crank and let you know my findings.
Ordered from Aircraft Spruce and should get it soon down here!
Cheers
E
