you didn't think I would let that go did you?
I have to believe that the life of the engine shows up in later years. I have some older engines that still run great. Some that have had troubled lives, the battery goes on early. I bought some G scale engines used that show evidence of heat exposure. Those batteries were shot too.
I stated before that it appeared I was seeing problems after ten years. I made that post years ago and other engines still haven't had their batteries changed. I really don't have any conclusions on battery life still. Some are getting up towards 15! A few died out early.
I started swapping out my G scale batteries for BCRs and ran out of money. So a good portion never got touched. One engine refused to run with a BCR. I swapped it for another newer engine's used batteries. Both ran fine afterwards! ????
