Any electrical engineers know...
Anyone know if running the battery down to dead is specifically bad?
after my date on Friday (left the headlights on for 5 hours for those of you jumping in late here) this is at least the 3rd time I remember a pretty full discharge or dead battery. 2005 - left radio, trunk lid & lights on all day while working in the shop 2008 - my brother left the key in the run position for 6-8 hours 2009 - left headlights on. I'm aware of the dual batterys in most diesel trucks (Ford, Dodge & probably GM). 3-4 years of lifespan seems the norm with most of my trucks even with 2 batteries. I have 11 years & 224,000 on this battery, so I'll probably keep it for a while just to see how much further it goes. I do have jumpers, a cell phone & several friends - only worry is the cold NY winters. Maybe I'll buy a new one and leave in the trunk for extra traction.
