Re: Sometimes start issue

I seem to have found the solution to my own SVX starting problems.
We have 4 SVXes, two garage queens and two SVXes under car covers on the driveway.
We just didn't run the SVXes enough to keep the batteries from draining. So I now have 3 battery maintainers ($20- ea.). They seem to be doing the job. The two SVXes in the garage share a battery maintainer(1/2 week on & 1/2 week off) This maintainer is plugged into the garage outlet. Each SVX on the driveway has its own maintainer. Both maintainers are connected to the battery under the hood and sit on the left front tire under the car cover. They get their power from 'outside extension cords' run to the garage which are connected to a multiplug heavy duty extention cord run through the garage to the electrical socket in the laundry room. I admit this system is cumbersome and will improve it when the weather turns nice.

But now I can wash and dry my unmentionables and charge the SVX bateries, all at the same time.
