The EZO Power batteries both took a charge and seem to be operating
properly a couple days later. I plan to use one of them to see how many

Should they fail I have put this Progo deal on my Amazon wish list

Two batteries, an A/C charger and car adapter for $12 less than I paid
for the two EZP Power batteries.
