    Corwyn the thing I am trying to point out is the difference in your interpretation of / in the UK this is commonly known as "stroke" in your terms you are seeing it as division. Now do you understand the difference. If I am giving the size of a tyre I give it as 205/55/16 does that clear it up.

    Just replaced my battery with the Optima Yellow Top from ELearnAid. Shipment was prompt, and instructions were very clear. Did the job in about 45 mins.

    I would call this a "flathead screwdriver" just saying.

    Nor is 205/55/16 meant to be interpreted as 205 multiplied by 55 multiplied by 16.

    I searched on the web for any interpretation of Amp/Hour as equivalent to Amp*Hour in England. I found none that weren't corrected by others. It is not Amp-Stroke-Hour either (whatever that would mean).

    Just to throw a wrench in the screwdriver name discussion, I grew up in the Midwest and we referred to this type (the one pictured): as a common screwdriver. The other was referred to as a cross-point screwdriver. I know there are many other types, but these are the two types most people have.

    Yep, I love my Optima battery, the included instructions were straight forward, only took about an hour of my time, and it saved me $150
