What I'd like to know is why some people have had to replace; including multiple replacements; the BP's battery terminals and others have had absolutely none. If the terminals were the problem, then I'd expect a much higher failure rate and the fact that it isn't all that high indicates that their design is not the real issue. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Robert Clark Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2007 2:43 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: battery connection troubles Tim and others, I have not seen battery terminals used that last forever. Not just the type used in the BP. So its in general, a weak link and one we all have to be careful using.
