Yeah, -30C is about when it gets really tough on car batteries.

Dh says the car battery is significantly smaller then the battery in my truck.

 

[vehve]

I would need to change the battery in the pug at some point too, but it still works fine in summer so maybe I can tolerate charging it every once in a while. In winter it's important to drive a bit further than just a few miles, constant starting isn't good for the battery if it's not allowed to charge itself in between.

 

[BriardChickens]

Exactly... For us its ~30 km one way to go anywhere.plus I give the truck a 15 minute warm up before we go.

Wouldn't a Webasto or something be more practical? It would save the engine a bit too...

I have become a poster and not a reader it seems. Again I have no time to read and am still far behind. Just had a lot going on. Hoping the water pipes don't bust, moved the roosters pen to a less windy spot & covered the pen up, feeding the fireplace, work, you know. Usual, just much colder. 18degrees below 0 (Fahrenheit) wind chill right now. YEAH! Can't wait to go to work. Darn cold out. Not looking any better until maybe Sunday.....if they got it right. They are warning against frostbite. And saying hundreds of thousands of people are being hit with this cold air. Everyone stay warm!!!

We also have our 1st funeral of the year (hopefully the only one of the year) to go to Thursday

. DH cousin passed away. Elderly (70s or 80s). So, gotta find clothes for everyone today. Well, have a good day. Gotta head off to work.

Sorry for your loss.
