[QUOTE="SirShaun, post: 15783844, member: 163618"] Heat is typically what kills batteries, then when it gets cold, that's when you realize your battery is weak. I'd just run the battery until it doesn't crank one time, then replace. I just replaced the battery in my Durango, when it refused to crank recently one past cold morning. They actually put it under the passenger seat, to keep it away from heat. Looked like the stocker so it made it 7 years. In general I'd say if you get 5 years out of a battery your doing good. Can't be but so mad then. If the voltage is under 12v, it's not going to crank. I've also had batteries show 12v, but a voltage drop was causing the no start. Have someone else crank the vehicle with you on the terminals with a volt meter, to see what voltage drops to on the crank. 12v was dropping to like 6v on me, when cranking. In which case need to replace the battery. [/QUOTE]
