style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>Makes me
wonder if the sticker means anything , who kows if this battery got charged or
was assumed and a sticker put on it. The first MT-42 I got had no sticker and
read 12.35 volts and it took at least 5 days 2 hours a day to bring it up to
12.7. second leaking MT-42 had a sticker and read 12.61 and charged at 2 amp
for 3 hours surface charge gone read 12.74 volts. I know heat can discharge a
battery yet it was close to this hot when I got the first 2 MT-42's . It's 95
in the garage in the car near the battery. </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>

face=Arial>I always thought it was date of manufacture. My son bought a new
battery for his Square (the Bones) from O'Reilly's. We tried starting the car a
few times, and eventually stopped and put the battery on an automatic charger,
and left it overnight. The next day it was still pulling about 6 amps on the
charger, but what was in the battery was enough for us to fire up the car. Once
we were done playing with it (re-setting the timing), we hooked up the charger
again and left it on overnight. The next day the charger said it was charged. We
never put a VOM on it, so I don't know how dead the new battery was when he got
it (it barely turned the engine over), but I've run into several that needed to
spend some time on a charger before use. Just to finish the original thought,
the battery's been fine since, but we still never put a VOM on it.<BR>
