Great to see everyone come together to get you back on the road, and your drinks properly chilled.

Blaine, you don't need a specific battery shop. Any side of the road mechanic should be able to swap out a battery on a SMB with a floor jack.

As far as a 4D lead acid...any Caterpillar, John Deere, Cummins dealer etc etc all keep them in stock. All the trucks, air compressors, heavy equipment, power modules use them. They all have service bays and techs as well but probably not real keen on working on a van but with a compelling hardship situation they might?

Glad to see your up and running. You won't regret having a proper battery monitor. I haven't used one, but by all accounts the Thronwave equipment is solid.

I’ve had the same situation twice which were immediately resolved upon replacing the battery separator.
