Re: Cold Weather Battery

If your battery is dead in a week you have a bad battery or a drain.

Unhook your negative battery cable, and then get a test light and put the clip on the now-unhooked negative battery cable, and the probe on the negative battery terminal.

My guess is, the test light will come on.

Now pull fuses one by one until the light goes out. When you find that fuse, that is the circuit that your drain is in.

I start my 83 about once a month, if that. Sometimes it sits for 3 months between starts. I have an old pre Johnson Controls Optima Red Top on it (they are crap now, but used to be good batteries). It starts every time.
