[Chrysler300] Clocks

[John Hertog <crossram@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Terry,

I beg to differ.  I always leave the battery connected in my 300G rag over
the winter; probably because I am too lazy to disconnect it. After 3,4, or 5
months of sitting, the battery is still good, the clock is still going
"Tchunk - tic - tic - tic " , and, since the "G" has an electric fuel pump,
it starts right up even after a long period of time . I also believe (maybe
wrongly) that keeping the clock running may help to preserve its mechanical
integrity. It can't draw much power, the clock...

Of course, one could easily hook up a trickle charger to the car, even with
battery disconnected, and that would be enough to keep the clock operating
thru the long (ugh) winter months.

Buy you a beer in Maine...

Interesting reading on the clocks in our Brutes.  One comment:   for those
of
us who use our cars primarily for intertainment, and may have them  set for
two or three weeks at a time without starting, the constant winding of  the
clock can run down the battery.  I think that the quartz clock  mechanisms
use so
little current that that should never be a problem.   Terry McTaggart, some
