[QUOTE="Mister Pinky, post: 1740834, member: 41592"] I’m a believer in battery maintenance. I was once told by a DC electrical engineer that you would have to drive the equivalent of 700 miles without any accessories on to fully charge a car battery if it was dead and you jumped it. That’s not to mention the massive strain it puts on your alternator trying to keep a dead battery alive. The best solution he told me was to bring your vehicle into a warm garage in the winter months and stick it on a trickle charger feeding the battery about 1-2 amps at a time. I’m a stickler about this even moreso now with the Auto Start/Stop system in the Raptor. Ever since then, I rarely have battery problems anymore. I usually replace mine at about 5-6 years just to be safe. [/QUOTE]
