follow me and I will make you fishers of men.

Hooking a good new battery up with an older one makes both as bad as
the older one. I would never do that. Did you replace the one that
blew with a new one hooked up with the older one? Most of my
batteries start going bad between 2 and 3 years old - but I use them
about 100 days a year. After two years or so they start giving out
quicker and quicker. Time to replace them when that happens.
