One of these days I need to get a block heater or move a few thousand miles south..lol

Car started okay yesterday at -25 but those extra -5 or so made a differenace , my garage is to cluttered to park there.

I was going to bring the battery inside but since it's in my trunk and being a chrysler 300 you can/t open the trunk with no power, you have to crawl through the back seat to open the emergency lever.

I have some power to open it with the fob but then I would have to leave the trunk ajar over night and don't feel like having to empty out my dash cam and gps or other things people might steal.:doh:
 
The weather is nice at the moment, but I picked up the zerostart battery warmer for next time.
Also I feel like an idiot!! I have had this car for abour 6 years..looked up the VIN and it shows it's equiped with a block heater..I went lokking....t was hiding behind the computer box with a cap over the outlet..

Could have been pluggin it in all those years..:smiley9:
 
They can hide the cords pretty well sometimes. I had one put on my diesel daily driver (car) here in the mid-Atlantic region, and my mechanic looked at me like I was an idiot. He's not the one who has to get up in the morning and run the battery flat trying to start it when it dips low here. I do, however, have trouble finding where I tucked the cord, so don't feel too bad.

I got the block heater (and oil sump pad heater) religion with general aviation aircraft, and saw how much of a difference it made, so I figured why not use the tools that are available?
 
years ago my kids would trip over the extension cord and unplug the block heater
so I decided to tie it together
got up hungover and running late
guess what happened?lol
