I'm in Nashville, TN and our temps are getting down to between 6F-12F overnight this week. I couldn't get her to start this morning, and she had been sitting cold for two days and it's stayed in the 20s during the day lately. How long should I keep her plugged in for? Is it something I just need to do an hour or so before I leave in the mornings, or should she stay plugged up overnight? Thanks!
One hour should get you started. Two hours would allow for a easier start. A lot deppends on the condittion of your engine and whether you are just using it as a starting aid or trying to get the whole block to operating temps
