Well, the car and myself are at home. The car was put on the flat bed and taken home. I have the block heater and trickle charger hooked up. They sent a gasser tow truck, and true to form, jumping did not work.

Yes, I understand how cold weather affects batteries, and how colder weather means a exponential drop in electrical capacity.

I'm still leaning towards the Optima or Odyssey, only for the lack of acid eating up the battery tray, no corroded terminals, etc. BTW, the Odyssey I had on my bike was able to jump start my gasser truck when it's battery took a dump.

Last month I had 14.3 volt reading at the battery terminals, engine idling, lights on.
