Get a Battery tender to keep your battery charged.

I would think that you would already know about the battery tender, they are great and well worth the $$.

Don't they make like a dipstick heater for gasoline engines?

We use block heaters at my old work in the Midwest to keep our diesels warm in the frozen winter. Just a thought.

we use block heaters on all cars where i am at, it was -42 with the wind chill recently, even though i park in an unheated garage and dont plug my car in, it starts with no issues. (knock on wood). i would recomend getting a block heater if you dont already have one.

You don't need a battery tender, block heater or any of the other STUPID suggestions people here have given you. No, you need to MOVE SOUTH and get out of there like, yesterday!

Truthfully, a block heater and a battery charger would be great for your issue, as would a heated garage. God Bless you for living through that kind of weather.

Hey! I will have you know it has been T-shirt weather all year up here! I have not worn my winter coat once this year! Been in the high 30's and 40's all winter (I know that is cold south of the Mason-Dixon line...up here T-shirts). Global warming for the win!

Down here, anything below 60 is considered cold.

Get a new battery with a higher Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) and that should be very helpful.
