I went online found a battery for my Harley-Davidson. I had multiple batteries from other vehicles that I never got the core charge from. They gladly accepted them and gave me $10 per battery towards my new purchase. Amazing everything that was stated online transpired in the store

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
