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!

Honestly guys we argued this a long time ago. You don't need to swap out the starter battery. Its fine. Give it a shot and I know it will work. Im so confident in it that IF I were a little richer I would offer you your money back on the starter battery if it did not work out. I had it sit for 2.5 weeks and it fired up on the first try. Gary had it sit in cold weather multiple times and it worked, and I think Bu-tang is running a audio system on it.
Trust me its fine.
