Bonus, now you have a nice little charger for future use.

Yeah, you know it kinda forced me to do what I was supposed to do, meant to do for a while - which was buy a trickle charger to maintain my battery.

Noted.

I don't want to need to put water in the damnable thing - I just want to be able to ride.

Maybe different walmarts sell different batteries, but the one I got is a maintenance free one. I haven't touched it since I stuck it in under the seat.

I know you're in NJ, so if you're wondering, I got it from the walmart on route 22 in watchung square.

That's too funny - not too far from where I live. I used to go to Tiger Schulmann's not far from there.

Do you mean the one in Blue Star? I do some of my grocery shopping there. We probably live kind of nearby each other.

Yep. But it takes me 30 minutes to 45 minutes to get there, so not very close, but not incredibly far, either.

Every once in a while I ride out there to see my older son do his session.
