Good thread! I'm making lots of notes for future referrence, thanks everybody.
Very pleased with my Baby John this morning. She lives under our polebarn, on the end with a roof but with no walls or protection from blowing snow and certainly no heat. Daytime temps have been at or below freezing for over a week and much colder at night, single digits mostly. I've been crazy busy with the day job and haven't fired her up in almost two weeks until late this morning - clear sunny day and needed to move snowbanks out of the way before we get another storm. It was about 20 degrees and I used Shadow's tip and warmed up the air intake with a heat gun for a few minutes, pushed the key in for 10 seconds and she lit up with zero hesitation. :thumbsup:
I'm sure that, as with all things green, those JD batteries cost twice as much as one from NAPA, but dang - I'm impressed.
