Sorry to hear that! You might benefit from a battery tender or one of those jump starter devices like the Halo.
I had to jump my mother in law last week and we might get her one as a birthday present. Her situation wasn’t directly cold related though, her negative terminal was super corroded. Ended up needing a battery and the terminal cable replaced.
Got a pair of devices a bit like the halo to keep in the cars going forward. Car went in the shop a few days later for something unrelated but they tested the battery and there was nothing wrong with it, the engine was just too cold.
I can only imagine. You guys get that lake effect cold and wind. I’ve seen it a little in Duluth, I can only imagine what it’s like in a city nicknamed the “Windy City”.
I live in Chicago and both my relatively new cars wouldn’t start without a jump last week…
