There is a JC Whitless product that actually works...I've used it and it
isn't "snake oil." It's a cadmium solution (real poisonous stuff, BTW....)
called VX-6 or somesuch. Had the same symptoms...'dead' battery, hand
crank to get going. But before I did, I added the VX-6 to all the cells.
3-4 miles later and 100 yards from work, I run out of gas - at a stop light
in the middle of an intersection. The battery had developed enough ummmph
in those five minutes to crawl through the intersection on just the starter
motor.
See ya'll in a few days...have to fly off to San Fran for a funeral....
Cheers
