Low battery symptoms

Seal1968,

I see you're in Chatsworth and I'd imagine it gets quite chilly up there. The 780cca battery will do you good for a while to come. I recommend getting a trickle charger / battery tender and having it connected when you aren't driving it for more than a week.

I replaced my previous battery with an Interstate (sorry, I forget exactly which one) and it works well but not as high CCA as yours, but okay for Toronto weather. I leave mine connected to a battery tender when not in use for over a week and it has held up well so far.

Our Toyota factory-installed Panasonic (made in Japan) battery in our daily driver failed literally after the 5 year mark. It has a low CCA and died this past winter as it couldn't be saved after the harsh winter we had last year. I replaced it with a Motomaster battery and so far so good. The fit isn't perfect, but for the price, I will not complain.
