    Dead Battery

    OK so I am all packed up ready to leave first thing in the morning for a weeks camping, just have to set the fridge but the fridge isn't holding the temp

    Yep dead aux battery

    So before I leave in the morning it's off to get a new Exide Orbital.

    On the up side I am glad it happened now and not tomorrow after a long days drive when we're out in the boondocks

    Hi Phil...

    Not a good thing to happen but not as bad as my flat battery experience... was at the drive in cinema... 2 films later... went to start it.. and nothing! at least you still had your starter battery im yet to get round to a second battery (and a fridge but thats coming...)

    hope you had a good week!

    Steve

    Hah, that is a bit lucky...

    Side note...

    I hate people calling batteries flat. The only way you get a flat battery is if you run over it...possibly several times. The correct term is 'discharged'.

    My tafe teacher is gonna love me!

    Been a long time away has it cowboy?

    I agree though, it looks dead sexy and everytime I touch it it sends a little tingles down my spine.

    I've got flat batteries (slim or button) in my mobile phone, my computer mother boards and calculators to name a few. I also own an electronics business
