That is your first mistake... buying a battery from Snears. There is
a reason they call them Die Easy. Especially in Diesels, you don't
want a dieeasy battery. Going back a second time, unless they will
give you a free replacement, is not a good idea!

It has been in the 30s here (that constitutes "cold" here in the Low
Country) so I doubt if it has frozen. And no, I don't think they
load tested it, just put it on the charger and said it was holding a charge.
I was sorta surprised they did not do more as I could have done
that, but then again, I guess I am not surprised. Back to Sears
tomorrow, will get a new battery.

How cold has it been where you are? If a battery is low enough to
freeze, it is usually junk even if it will take a

That is generally a pretty good indicator of its
value. Do you know if Sears load tested when you had it there or
did they just try charging it and declare it good
because it took a charge?

I went and tried to start the Burb again, battery totally dead again.
Unless there is something drawing a lot of current from the battery (not
sure what that could be), the battery is shot.
