Benefactor update

Yesterday morning 6:00 A.M at -8 degree f. I decided to check it again. Inspect battery was showing again. I cleaned the terminals and switched to start. Being that cold, it didn't start on the first try. It cranked about 15 seconds and automatically shut down. I put my load tester on it. Not one of those electronic things, a carbon pile tested which put a good load on it. It held at 12v. When I release the tester it went to 12.5v. Couldn't be the battery but, I went to New London Wal-Mart. Only thing open at that time. Bought a new battery like you guys said I should. Installed and, haven't had a problem since. To me, this make no sense but, it proved you guys right! Thanks!

By the way, you can turn off your auto-correct. I did and my life is so much better!

New London. I pick up freight at Bemis a couple times a month.

What kind of readings does your new battery give? Must be a bit higher on something to turn off the warning. Just a bit more stand by voltage?

Didn't check. Fingers were starting to hurt.

Just something to think about later when the temps or at least you are warmer.
