    Battery question

    Hi all-Just a quick question. Stock battery got soft last year. Bought a new battery, used a year, kept on trickle, but live in the North where it's freaking still snowing so start ups take a heater on the block for a bit. It's warming up but the battery is already soft. Sometimes you get a...
