The old pickup starts right up.



That said some of the newer vehicles seem to need more juice at start up for the all the electronic chit. I've replaced the battery in my wife's car twice in the last 5-6 years. It won't even spin over when the battery 'dies'. Get some horsechit message on the screen....


Needless to say I've kept the 'bad' batteries and use them in old chit that can work on 12 volts or whatever they show on the tester.


Some won’t even turn over even if battery isn’t drained. Wanna say my ‘08 dodge 3500 is like that. Too much lectric stuff now days
