You make an interesting point. I bought a brand new $110 battery, but now I am suspicious that it wasn't fully charged. When i jumpered the starter for about 5 seconds, the battery was suddenly almost dead. I'm wondering if there is a connection problem somewhere. Any ideas if there is a week link/ week spot somewhere in the positive cable??
