Hi Ron, I read your post about the CSB batteries and I went over there and
poked around for awhile and couldn't find anything that was 12v at 35a\h
that weighed 7 lbs.they all were at least 23 lbs or more. I didn't look for
a very long time so could you give me the part or model number? I would
really appreciate it.

                   tnx es 73
                                    Dave K6WRF
