I drove over to the print service bureau we use to approve a print's color and density before they proceed with printing more prints. As I went to leave the starter was very sluggish.
I was happy my battery gave me a warning. It was a perfect day, 70 degrees, blue skies, and the Interstate battery store was three blocks away. They tested it, and it was weak. So 90 bucks later, new battery installed.
My last several batteries just dropped dead shorted, and I could not even jump start the car the battery was so fried. This was way easier. in the 30 years of owning the Elky I have gone through a lot of batteries. Some on 100+ degree days, some with snow and ice on the ground. This was better.
