When I bought my 74 99 new of the lot in Chicopee MA, the battery had a dead cell which had to be replaced before I could test drive it. I believe that the reason Saab batteries from the factory are so often bad is the number of times the cars get moved with little running time to get them recharged, cold climate where they sit before getting loaded on the boat, the long boat voyage, moving agian, sitting, moving, transported, moved at the dealers, etc..
