Damn, all those sober people stole your breakfast.Stayed at a hotel with free breakfast new years eve. At check in they said it would go until 10:30 because of the holiday. Go down there just after 930 and the only thing left was raisin bran and yogurt. They said they were in fact only going until 930.
Are you sure?Car battery dead. Been weakly cranking for the last week or two. Today sitting in the parking lot listening to the stereo ran it down. Dash lights on, but won't crank.
It's being recharged as I type this. There was significant crud on the negative cable connector. I suppose there's an off chance the alternator wasn't recharging it properly. But dash indicator never lit, and it's almost 4 years old, and out of warranty ... soooo ...
My wife's battery was dead a few days ago. Turns out it was the alternator (with no relation to bull penis), an electronics heavy alternator with its own microprocessor. $400 just for the alternatorCar battery dead.

Ok, you got me shopping. I put this charger on my list ... https://www.amazon.com/DieHard-71219-Battery-Charger-Maintainer/dp/B077742Y1H/
The controller for the blower motor went out on Mom's HVAC last year(?). It was $275 + labor. WTH does a blower motor need a controller? What happened to on/off? It had an 8 pin connector....My wife's battery was dead a few days ago.

Stance of dominance.Autozone charged and tested my battery. Said it was bad. So ... I went to Walmart for a new EverStart Max battery. $104.
My car sure starts with authority now. No more weak cranking.
Heheheh, actions speak louder than words.Stance of dominance.
$130 here too at autozone. The last 2 I bought didn't give any indications they were crapping out.
Because I don't like walmart. Yes, I just shopped there today but that was Mom's grocery list. They put thousands of stores out of business because Americans want cheap shit. And I'm just as guilty for shopping Amazon...Heheheh, actions speak louder than words.
The Walmart battery has the same warranty as Autozone's Duralast Gold-edition models. 3 yr. free replacement + 2 yr. prorated. Why not take a chance? I ran a walmart battery once before without any ill consequences. (Don't think it was the Maxx edition though)
Would anti-icing windshield fluid help clear off the ice?My solar panels have been fubared for the past week or so because we had freezing rain a while back. Been trying to chip away at it with no luck. Managed to get some cells exposed today though. That snow is harder than it looks, it's all crusty and crap.
They arn't running anything important, but if I can't salvage this I'll have to bring the battery in the house. Was hoping this system could be a bit more self sustaining other then me having to broom snow off but forgot about dreaded freezing rain. That just ruins every surface for the rest of the winter.
