G'day Paul,

Thanks for posting the chart Paul.

I thought I used to know a bit about cars and things which made vroom vroom noises of the truck and tractor type. Until getting both trucks which had no battery in them if I needed a battery for my previous machines I would just write down the name of the battery maker the product code or lately lift of the adhesive sticker off the battery and go up to a battery supplier and say.... "I want one of these please". After a short while later I would install the new battery and be a happy fellow.

So please let me know what a Group 1 battery might be and how many groups there are. I do know that "heavy duty" batteries have more plates - has that something to do with the different groups bit?

Kind Regards
Lionel
