Yes I do but have to throw one out and buy another for next year. The one I had on the pickup read that it was charged but was dead as nails this spring ..

I bought a battery float charger at Harbor Freight for 5 bucks thinking that I might need one and never used it. I don't even know if it works. LOL

I was thinking that this one wasn't working right last year and should have scraped it then, the panel fired right up first turn of the key, dash lights wouldn't even come on in the pickup..
