Does anyone know a good strong brand name batterie for cold starting in -40 weather? i'm using motorcraft now but they are not cutting it!!

 

Odyssey batteries... expensive but very good. You can get them from Summit Racing.

 

I've been very happy with my Motorcraft.

 

Here's a thread I started about 6 days ago, alot of good info. I gave the Wal-mart's Everstarts Maxx's a shot. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...-duralast.html

 

WOW. - 40. What kind of oil are you using at that temp? Why exactly are the Motorcrafts not cutting it? Are those temps requiring extended cranking the batteries can't handle?

 

A little off topic. What kind of fuel additive are you running in that kind of weather?

 

Huck,
Thought I would chime in and say I use schaeffers winter in the blue can. I was up in Grand Forks ND on the 8th and it was -30 with the wind chill. I did NOT plug it in and she started and ran fine. I use the red can n the summer. Every tank. Hijack over

 

Thanks Tom.

 

I use Deka batteries and have had a great experience with them in cold weather.

 

And Truckee California is one of the two coldest places on average during the winter months in the Continental US.

 

i can help out on the Odyssey batteries our reno store should have them.
$$$ but they are good batterys i have installed duel sets in jeeps before.
truckee is a cool place went 4x4 there once (startreck) i think it was called

 

I'm using the napa premiums. The Napa guy there said they are Interstate batteries and thus far I have not had a problem what so ever at starting up with the temps in the single digits and a wind chill factor of -5

 

wal mart maxx start work well

 

bah! I've heard to many bad things about wally batteries, some people have good luck others have battery bricks.

 

Optima. Run them in my boat. Have left them in & hooked up all winter and they are fine come spring time. Killed many a "All Things Chinese Store" (Walmart) batteries.
