I'm no expert, but here's what the experts say about sidewall indentations:

Thanks for that! These days, I usually drive around town like a tortoise, so I was puzzled as to what might've caused it without having hit any potholes.

Today, I had the '04 XC90 return a bunch of codes, including 'reduced engine performance,' before it failed to start. Luckily, I had suspected the battery was about to fail and bought a new Interstate from Costco just before xmas. On the old battery (also an Interstate), I see date and year markings on the sticker atop the old battery, but no indication as to how old it is.

The old one had a vent, but the new one does not.
Not that easy to see, but the new battery should have the vent holes on both sides. They don't give you the little plastic elbow though, so you have to swap that over.

Thank you for that. I can't believe I hadn't looked closely enough the first time. Now it's properly vented.

Thats insane! I can buy 2 nearby for $80 and thats including core charge.

Hmm... something looks a little off here...

If you dont want your 'trash', Ill take it. One man's trash is another man's treasure. Ill hang it up on my wall. I have two others (one iron and one blue) hanging above my computer.

Are you stuck in a time warp? Whats up with the Intel Centrino? No offense, just giving you a hard time. LOL

Haha, don't worry, I couldn't bring myself to trash it! It's in good shape. Just listed it for sale, actually!

It's yours matthew1. Send me your address and i will drop it in the mail.

That's my address. Thanks very much mdr1220!

Here's me with my flag circa 1994 after a fresh haircut.

I fired up a WIN 3.1 laptop over the weekend. It worked surprisingly well.

Intel 486 processor
