Sucks.
Wouldn't it still be a good idea to charge the battery overnight or something?

that "feature" is so they don't get run down and permanently ruined/cause other issues. Lead Acid you can bring back from a lot, lithium you go down once and try to bring it back and you could get one of these:Just something I saw this last weekend on the PowerBlock is the lithium batteries I dont know how well they will hold up with the cold temps that you have. but its a thought and an option. They also have a NeverDie feature that shuts the battery down at 20% and with a push of a button you can start your car.

that won't have charged it up that much.. maybe put 5ah or so back in. I'd still run it on a 2A charge for a few hours to be sureWell, I didnt have time to do a charge like that.
I brought my tools to the house, and the Alt I bought didnt fit.
Brought it back to the Advanced Auto many miles away and also had mine tested.
My old one tested fine. I noticed alot of corrosion on ring terminal (my own fault for not greasing it before assembly) So i cleaned everything up, used my battery charger for a regular charge for 10 mins, then started it up.
It ran just fine and the 20m trip home shouldve charged it up. It starts right up like normal now. But a little bit of corrosion cost me about 100 bucks.
I have moved my car from the center lane of the highway, up a slight hill to the shoulder with my stock battery lol. Battery and starter are fine still.i have a big semi-truck group 31 in the back of my crx. Although its quite large and heavy, i could probably move my car off the road with just the starter and putting it in second if i ran out of gas.
Oh, and it is pretty cheap, and they are generally better built than valucrap or durajunk standard group 24's.

Last time I got the cylinder for my grill refilled, I was talking with the guy that was filling it...i have a big semi-truck group 31 in the back of my crx.
