Darn Cold Weather!! - medwards01 - 12-31-2010
Done went and killed the battery in the EB....Drove it to work several times last week and earlier this week while the temps were in the low 20's and wind chill in the teens. Fired right up with no problems....Off work today, temps near 60 this afternoon, went to crank her up for a drive to the golf course and she barely turned over....whrrr, whrrr, whrrr, click, click, click. Thought maybe battery terminals and cable connections were dirty causing problem, disconnected and cleaned everything and tried again, no such luck, same results!! Went to get the battery charger and couldn't find it of course. After much cursing, ranting, and raving, remembered I left it in Mississippi when we moved because my son needed one to charge his ATV and trolling motor batteries. After mentally "kicking myself in the arse", I jerked the battery out and took off for Autozone to get it tested. Bottom line, bad battery, failed to hold a charge....Lucky for me it still had some warranty left and I got a $44.00 credit towards a new one. Still cost me $51.00 and I never did make it to the golf course.........
Damn It All, Happy New Year :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Well, at least it didn't die somewhere and leave you stranded a week ago when it was freezing, right??? I'm not a big fan of the cold, especially when it comes to having to wrench on something outside in the cold. Guess I am getting old.
