So on new years eve it was about -18C here (-.4F), I had her plugged in for about an hour and she started like she usually does (hard,lots cranking) and drove it around the whole day fine. Then came new years, well it was still the same temp and i plugged it in for half an hour (had to unexpectedly go somewhere), and ofcourse she wouldnt start, I tried cranking her twice then i got that waaah wahh starter/battery dieng noise so i just took another vehicle. Then came yesterday I had it plugged in for an hour i think i tried starting and nothing, then i plugged her in (3 hours) and no start....so then overnight i put trickle chargers on the batteries and plugged it in. And come this morning -3C (26F) she fired right up, like instantly.....so my thoughts are that all i need is new batteries? I guess the sure way to now is charge the batteries on an extremely cold day then try starting......o and when I went to start it to head home for lunch it took a little time so maybe its my alternator?....can i test it with a fluke?
