I finally figured out why my 73 RS doesn't keep a charge. While on the charger today, I noticed a hissing, bubbling sound, and the batteries got really hot. I disconnected and pulled the batteries out and discovered there isn't much liquid left in the cells. I guess I overcooked them.

Anyone know where I can find a set of the European Varta batteries? Their website doesn't show a distributor in the USA. I was hoping to keep the car with european batteries, but if not, perhaps a USA brand and model that is known to fit in those little battery wells?

Suggestions appreciated.
