| One thing about the cold weather, if your battery is weak it shows up when it's cold. The Volvo has had a hard time starting now that the weather is below 20, but it did fine in the summer and fall. It takes about 20 minutes to get it started. Yesterday I noticed when I got to work that it cranked quicker than it did first thing in the morning. This morning I threw the charger on the battery on low for a couple hours and it fired right up. The battery looks like it's an old one so it's time to swap it out! | |

| Better get it swapped. No lonlier feeling than having a dead battery on a cold winters night. | |

| Hopefully you get the battery changed quickly, Ridge.. You don't want to be stranded anywhere, especially in the winter!~!
I just got a new battery for my car this summer, so I'm good on that!~! | |
