Battery will freeze if it is anyway near dead.,..seriously, get a charge in it. Make his dumb butt get out there and do it unless he is not up to the task.

Pretty sure the battery in my crown vic is toast... Pretty sure it was salted with water at pull a part when I got it.... now its sol

In sub-zero temp conditions a weak battery will freeze solid. Put a charger on it is it is weak and you may bye some time unless it has iced over already. Once frozen they are crap.

Even an interstate will die in these temps if you grind it down and leave it flat or near flat.

I agree, one doesn't want to take one down that far. Some folks don't understand that if it don't start in 10 sec., you may have a problem. I loaded up on "Heet" before this all hit, that helps also.

Any Pdubs want to go jump in lake michigan?

We ran all the vehicles last night for s while to top off the battery's. Knew it would be a challenging morning.
When we started all the vehicles this morning at -14 we turned the key to the on position. Waited about 30 seconds to let everything wake up. Hit the starter and engines caught right off.

I've been auto starting mine from the house every 5 hours or so and let it run 10 minutes. I know I have a low battery but it is turning over and starting up
