It was 19 degrees yesterday and all I wanted to do was move the car from one side of the garage to the other, I wasn't really in the mood to wait 4 hours for the battery to charge- it was completely flat dead- that's what exchange programs are good for . I suspect that the battery had been dead while we had temps in the negative double digits so I felt as though the battery was most likely compromised and possibly had frozen, not something I wanted to trust for a long time to come. I realize the battery likely just went dead from my not disconnecting it prior to parking it for the winter, I had planned to start it at least once a week and let it run but I have been very busy. The car has never seemed to have a significant draw while sitting unused, but any modernish car that sits for several months in progressively cold weather is bound to run a battery down (correct me if I'm wrong here). the purpose of my post was to see if there as a battery that proved universally popular in the 928 community, particularly a gel cell.
