It's probably time to just buy better batteries. The first chill is what exposes the weaknesses.

I don't know why you are buying batteries anyway. If you are buying good batteries to start with, they will have a fee replacement warranty period of over 2 years.

As HT said - buy better batteries. If this has two they have to be the same or can fight with each other.
AZ is no place for batteries IMO. Batteries can't be mishandled before you buy them as in dropped then one takes out the other if two in this,

Not sure what to say sport. Been retired a loong time now and still will get batteries from NAPA local to me and not cheap either which is not the point but they will not sell junk that they know of, ever or anytime.
Can't speak for others.
Learning as I go even here that batteries suk now. Costs about $300 each to get so called Virgin LEAD batteries.
My apologies friend as my health is in the tank but the guys here are great still a free site and trust me these guys are professional,
Tom (near dead)

Well since you only seem to be having trouble in the winter, it looks like we will be dealing with this one in about 9 months......
I'm just curious why the batteries are being changed? Is someone/shop testing these batteries and they are coming up bad?
What exactly is the problem? There are a lot of problems that can cause a vehicle to "act like" it has a dead battery.
When it's "acting" like a dead battery, this would be the time to check the battery, if the battery tests good, then the whole system needs to be looked at to see where the power is being lost....
