we usually go the the local tip...think it's called the dump in America.
and gave the man $2 to pick up a "dead" marine battery that was showing 12.6v
took it home, fresh electrolyte and charged it and now that battery serves as our field battery as well as starting the old tractor every now and again.

marine batteries get thrown after a year as the warranty usually only lasts a year here in Australia.

i am so concious of my milage and battery life on my van i actually push start it every morning. it only takes one compression to bump off the diesel even w/o the glow warmers, so this keeps my milage good and saves the battery from a hard cold start.
