Battery Questions
At best, I can figure that the batt in the 'Teg is at least 5 years old. I EOC quite a bit, and for safety purposes, I drive with my headlights on whenever driving. The biggest drain is usually the fan blower, often used with the engine off.
Winter is approaching. Some weeks, the car sits for about 4-5 days outdoors before I get back to it (no EBH plug access).
So, with that in mind...
Question 1: What is a good Voltage Reading at engine-off? When does it show signs of giving up? I'll probably wait until it fails, but if that's tomorrow, I'd like to have an idea of what to buy pretty quickly.
Question 2: Is there a good battery folks can recommend? I've heard that Optima brand batts have declined in quality over the last year or so.
Any thoughts of a battery that works well under these conditions?
