Haha that's awesome lol, are you a weather man? Outside "actual temps" here in Chicago have been hovering around 0 for two weeks plus now(feels more like a month now). During the day it is like 10 and overnight it is around -5 to -10. Regardless its been cold as ***** outside and the Odyssey 925 has been holding strong. Sometimes if the car sits outside all day when I go to fire it up it might sound "slow" to crank, like weak, but once that first crank happens regardless it fires right up every single time. Easiest way to test the battery if you can't even start your car would be to pull it and take it to a parts store. They will load test the battery for free, even if you don't buy a new one from them.

Folks in cold weather with small batteries should invest in a huge jumper box. Get someting in 200-300 A cold cranking power. Not those tiny trickle-charger.

Ckeesee12 if you have a strong fully charged battery with new plugs and a little starting fluid does nothing you have other problems most likely ignition related. Did it pop or anything?

That's what I said, it was popping. Just too much junk on the old plugs. It fired right away when I put in new plugs. It wasn't the battery at all.

So the car started now? I think the problem goes along with your other post. You need the car re-tuned.
