On the chance that your dealer wasn't as through as possible in his familiarization explanations, check out the available pdf downloads on the Bionx site, contact them directly, (
http://www.bionxinternational.com/na...ice/downloads/) or feel free to drop me an email. Can't promise to solve all your problems, and you should already have a service source, but I'm a certified Bionx tech and will do my best to point you to the right people or get you the right info.
OH, I Don't think so... While I agree with reading the manual statement, I can assure you that car/truck batteries are much different, and usually no power drain when key is turned off, basically NO maintenance as long as the alternator is doing it's job... I have parked my truck for the winter for 40+ years, it can sit there for 5+ months never going anywhere, never starting it, then in the spring I walk up to it and turn the key and wroom off it goes, usually starts like it did the day I left it... Now sometimes I do have to crank it 2X before it actually keeps running, but that's it... 5 +months of as cold as -20 to -35*C and no problem...
EDIT; And oh yea,they are about $200 for a real good one (battery)... WTF with this $900 or so for a BionX battery?
