Good to see you back, Bear.
So the NEW battery? Took about ?4 hours? to charge (with a battery charger, inside ...well ventilated...warm area). I just put it in the car. NO CRANKING AMPS. It was at 60% charge when I started. Grrrrr. It has a May 2016 date on it.
Put the old one back in, worked. I'm so ticked off. I know that old battery is "going" as it won't keep a charge long, but if I charge it every day I'd be fine.
Alas, I decided better bite the bullet and get the battery. And.....crap. Maybe manufacturer problem. I've put it back on the charger again, and will have it tested tomorrow if I can find a way. It is warranted, but I hope they don't give me crap when I take it back. Maybe it will work tomorrow, IDK.
Hi snails.
P.S.
Thanks for the feedback on the jump starters.

I got just 2 armfuls of wood earlier. Glad I did at least that cause half my pile' is gone now. Not looking forward to wood duty tomorrow.
frannie, if it gets too bad or too much utilize the furnace!
