and more positive starting in cold or wet weather; it delivers<br />
consistent high voltage to the spark plugs for maximum<br />
engine performance with minimum re-setting of spark plug<br />
gaps; and it provides extra reserves of electrical energy for<br />
every lighting or accessory requirement.<br />
