I stopped for a dounut & coffee at the bakery one morning. got out, & my pickup wouldn't start. This was pretty early in the morning.
The folks in the bakery - well one came with a walker, one came with a 3-wheel handicap. Not people to bother....
So I called the service station, came out & jumped me, gave me the bill, drove away. I backed out onto the street (angle parking), put it in D, and it killed. Dead. Pushed it back into the parking stall. Huh.
By now it was regular business hours, a mom&pop gas station was 2 blocks away, think there is a sign on it they sell batteries, so walk over. Had to wait a long time for a bs session to end, then they talked to me. Was happy to see Exide sign on the window. Nope, none in stock, sold it yesterday. Will call around to other Exice dealers in town. 30 minutes later, nope, not a battery in town for me. All this time they were talking up their Exides, and talking down the junk from 2 other places in town.
Anyhow, in the end they called one of the places they had talked down, got a junk battery from them, and installed it for me.
Charged $210.
The jump was $35.
I had tools inside the pickup to change my own battery, & the junk battery came from only 6 blocks away. If a person knows, sheez I coulda carried a battery that far, and woulda been a lot of time & money ahead.
Walked kinda funny that day - paid for a lot of people to do a poor job in the end.

As a companion to the articles on three-brush and two-brush generators, it seemed fitting that we should provide our readers with a description of how a generator works in lay terms. The difficulty with all those "theory of operation" texts is that they border on principles of electricity or physics and such. Since I know nothing of either, you will have to put up with looking at the common sense side of how generators work which means we "
