@ Bu-Tang used the small starter this winter, i will let him speak to his experience with starting in the cold. |
This winter was REALLY cold for this area. Normally we'd have nighttime temps no lower than -12C and daytime temps ranging from -10C to +5C, but it actually got down to -20C two or three nights with daytime temps in the -17C to -10C range... but that was only for several days/nights. Still, the average temps were probably 5-10C colder than any other winter since 1978.
I would be concerned that the small starter battery wouldn't work at -20C, but: (1) that's a very uncommon occurrence around here; and (2) I likely wouldn't be driving anyway.
Still, I think I'd prefer a larger battery just in case. Which larger battery did you use, what tray did you use to put it on and where did you get that tray?
Thanks!
