Well, my recollection was that the Group 34 AGM seemed to weigh about
50% more than the last "old style" Group 34 battery I replaced in an SUV.


Ahem. A "S" doesn't sound like a vowel.

:-)


Ahem. Always use 'an' for words which sound like they start with a vowel, and always use 'a' for
words which sound like they start with a consonant.



I had to look it up. I always knew about an "a" before a consonant (did
that right!) and an "an" before before a vowel. (did that right too!)

But I never knew about the official rules about "sounding" like a vowel
or a consonant.

Musta skipped class that day.
