Tony, I wasted half a day trying to start my ERA for the first time with a brand new battery that had a bad cell. Once I jumped the battery my Cobra fired right up. I hadn't yet learned that it was a bad cell.

My battery was a brand-new, brand-name battery. After suffering "drainage" issues with it for a month or so (some situations more embaressing than others...), I took it out and dragged it down to the parts store where they tested it. Bad cell. Replaced it. Now I have no "drainage" issues.

It's worth checking. Could save you poking around with a lot of wires and scratching your head...
