Battery blankets anyone?

If it’s an ez install, give the battery a blankie. Block heater means more warm, less tense, butt & back sooner.

heated dipstick - yes, from the old upstate NY days - they did help

The engine started yesterday but I do kinda wonder now if the cold was already taking its toll on the battery at that time. I can't help but wonder though if using a battery blanket would have helped prolong the life a bit.

Excessive Heat destroys lead acid batteries… Excessive Cold is when the damage makes itself known.

You know... Instead of using a battery blanket, you could just pull the battery at night, even throw it on a trickle charger, and then reinstall in the morning. It's a very easy process to remove/install, and you might get away with some quick connect/disconnect bolts.
