Battery life?
<TABLE id=HB_Mail_Container height="100%" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0 UNSELECTABLE="on"><TBODY><TR height="100%" UNSELECTABLE="on" width="100%"><TD id=HB_Focus_Element vAlign=top width="100%" background="" height=250 UNSELECTABLE="off">It's getting cold again, and I'm wondering how much life I should expect out of the batteries in my 2002 F-250 with 7.3 powerstroke. The batteries are original, and I just had to charge them for the first time ever. The truck sat for two weeks without starting this time. How do you know if it's just cold out, or if the batteries are going bad?
Thx.

Your batteries are 7 years old. Do yourself a favor and replace them. You got your monies worth. I am sure that they are getting weak at their age. They will fail you on the coldest, snowy night when the wife needs to go somewhere and you will be in the dog house. Save yourself the headaches!
