Ok, my car is a 2009 and has the original battery in it and I am facing very low starting temps here over the next few days. So.....
1) Can a battery be tested for "wear" and therefore be able to recognize that it will most likely fail in 7 degree temps?
2) Is there any indication, via normal use, for me to tell if my battery is at risk of failing in these low temps?
Peace

Cranked my Audi in COLD weather last week in VT and looked - never fell below 10.something volts (its analog don;t push for too much precision)

My info is if the voltage falls to 9 volts while the engine may crank just fine the coils will not.. MarcW - Monday, 13 January, 2014, at 8:57:19 pm |
Being analog i didnt want to get precise, but it was ~ 10.4V *NM* grant - Tuesday, 14 January, 2014, at 8:18:58 am |
