+1
+2 = Then get a real battery . . .
(just for reference, mine is 825 CCA!) Once your plugs are all heating up, they will put a draw on a little battery, and won't leave much juice left for the starter . . .
Driving for 5 min is not gonna warm it up, and the little bit of heat in there is gonna dissipate in the 10-12 min you left it off, (Unless you were pulling a trailer straight up a hill the whole time with your foot on the floor!
)would have been better to leave it running . . .providing it was secured.
