<VV> Re:Moving the battery to the trunk

[J R Read_HML]

Shaun...  What battery are you buying that weighs 30 lbs?  Modern batteries 
are probably in the 15 to 20 lb range.  The initial email on this used 15 as 
an example - with 30 being the change (differential if you will) when moving 
from back to front.  You took his "change" number as battery weight and 
doubled up.  I think it would be hard to find a 30lb battery today.

Later, JR
