I always say that money ain't wasted in a new set of batteries.
I suspect that my 2,5 year old set of batteries are done.

So I left the charger on the batteries all night. Early this morning I reset the charger just to confirm it would be full and not settled down. Later when it got light outsides I hooked up my fully charged GooLoo. I cycled the glow plugs for 2 full cycles and started cranking on the 3rd.

I think the GooLoo was kicking out of boost mode because the batteries were almost full from the charge so I don't know for sure how much it helped; but it was completely dead when I stopped cranking.

And with that I just ordered some 950 CCA Odysseys from Autozone. Now I need to look for an AGM maintainer like I see Sous is running.

Shower Thought: it looks like the starter relay is the same as the GPR. Do they fail as often as the GPR and should I just replace it while I am at it? Maybe that is contributing to the slower cranking from some of my previous videos.

I can't remember what RPM's are needed for a start but I'm pretty sure that 100 is too low. New batteries should help with that. If they don't, start checking other things like connections and starter.
