'11 with OEM battery. Slow to crank in 15F weather. Checked battery quick n dirty with a multimeter.

12.6V resting
14.6 with engine running.

Battery would appear to be ok, is this just due to extreme cold? I would figure with the thin synthetic oil we run in these it would not be as sluggish....

I'll swing by Advance next week. After letting it run for about 10 minutes it cranks fine, even an hour or 2 later. Do you guys find that you still have to add distilled water to these batteries? I see the fluid level markings on mine, but can't really tell where the level IS...

All connections looks clean as a whistle BTW.

Swung by advance on my lunch break...Battery is reading 12.85v with 382 CCA.

Whats the rating on these things?

I grabbed a trickle charger as well, since the car sits for days at a time now. ( I work from home )
