What is it with batteries and me lately?

Wife's battery was kind of a PITA, has to dick around with the bolt; some of which had turned to some kind of steel salt, sulfate I guess, what sort of acid is those things any way. Have a sealed one now, so parking it on the steep driveway without a problem, My own fault for not thinking of it, probably need to paint the battery tray a bit too, need to check it out when it is light and not raining.


Laptop battery dying, are the remanufactured ones any good?

Acid in cars lead acid batteries is sulfuric, H2SO4.
For laptop batteries, just go on ebay and look for new ones from third parties.
I recently picked up one for my macbook pro, I think it was around 40 bucks.
Works fine.

If you can get it rebuilt at a battery shop like batteries plus then do that. If not go to ebay.

Batterys are going dead on you because of Aliens channeling the energy up through your mind. The solution is to wear a tin foil hat and all your battery problems will go away. Simply the tin acts a block to the Aleins mind beam. Yep thats what it is.
