22 year old truck. Started good in the recent bit of chill we had here.
“22 year old truck. Started good in the recent bit of chill we had here.”
In Dec. we had to replace the battery (#3) in my wife’s 15 year old Lexus. We had some cold weather in California, down to low 20’s at night.
I keep those small portable jump start batteries in our vehicles. After the 3rd time I dropped my wife off to grocery start and bought a new battery. It works fine now.
My Ridgeline needed a couple of jump starts in Dec.. The AAA guy said that it was the cold weather and not starting it for a couple of weeks. It is doing fine now. One of my wife’s nephew is a car genius. He told me to start it once a day and to have the portable battery jump start well charged and nearby.
His parents have two Ridgelines and they live in the Polar Vortex area. He told them to take the portable jump starters from the trucks to inside their home for the night and during working hours and to recharge them.
That worked.
He is wondering how many electric run vehicles couldn’t start in the areas hit by the Polar Vortex.
