My car sometimes doesn’t get driven for a week at a time, between that and winter cold I am having constant issues with it dying and needing to be trickle charged. My engine also seems to want a lot of juice for it to turnover.
Would an AGM battery last longer between charges? Would it perform better in the cold? Is there any better solution than just making sure some regularly drives it a few times a week?
Edit: It seems Costco lists an AGM for my car cheaper than a lot of regular batteries, so it seems like I will find out either way… But I am still curious if people think this will solve my charging problems.
The battery disconnect might actually be a decent idea for me. The vehicle gets driven almost every day one week, then possibly not at all for a week or two due to my wife and I varying schedules and work from home and the fact we share both vehicles and use them for different things.
How many CCA is the truck battery and what’s the engine size out of curiosity?
