    When the "poltergeists" hide the remote,its worthy of an APB search( the elusive fitting or fastner you "know" you have? throw in the towel and go to the hardware store and buy one,I had complete absence of mind when I sold( or maybe threw in for a package deal) a 52 volt 20 ah battery,when my...
