If your car sets outside this coming week at night. The battery is affected more by cold then your engine. This next week. We're expecting highs of -11. Lows in the range of -25, to -30. ( Wind chill temps down to - 50 are also expected ) When you get home. Your battery is being kept warm from the engine heat. Get an incandescent 75 W, or 100 W light bulb. Place it close to the battery. Get a white trash bag to place over the battery, and light. Open the trash bag to fluff it up. This will give you a dead air space between the sides of the bag sides. Then put the bag over the light, and battery. Make sure that there is nothing with in 3 inches of the light. Check after the light has been on for the first 30 minutes. This will help the battery to put out more amps to start the engine. Bob Dunahugh
