I use them for running the could during startup and to run my turn signals. I normally only recharge them a few times a year and replace them every few years.

Re: Number 1 coil keeps shorting out.
Try putting a good coil in that position and slowly turn the crank over by hand with the ignition on battery. Listen close to see if the coil is buzzing continuously and causing the coil to fail.

Re: Both Vintage Ford n Model T Times came today
Received both issues here.
I've often thought it would be nice if the two clubs could get together and stagger the month of their issues. Instead of getting both on the same month, you could get one each month.
