When I first got my M211 the batteries were bad. I used my Blazer on one
battery and a booster on the other, it started and I drove it home. Over the
next couple of days I did a few more times, until I could get a good set of
batteries. No damage must have been done to the battery or the booster,
because they still work after 3 years or may have just been lucky.
