Had to have my ole lady jump my chevy pickup with her ford taurus. :'(

 

think of this way. if it was another chevy you would still be stranded
.

 

 

 

I had to jump a truck at the work a few weeks back. the guy seen my car and asked if it has a strong enough battery. I laughed and told him mine was bigger then his LOL. Popped my lil hood and showed him my optima yellow top(the biggest one they make).

It was also a chevy. Cant pick on him to bad because the valleys heat really kills batteries fast.

 

Hahaha. That's funny stuff

 

Do you live in Phoenix, or just in the area? What's your altitude there?

 

 

I live in sun city which is 10 miles from phoenix. It a couple hundred feet above sea level(like 200-300 feet).

 

I wondered because San Antonio (were I am) is about the same height above sea level, and we get pretty hot Summers too. I don't know that batteries suffer out here more than they do there...I do know it's probably more humid here than it is there. No, not by much, but I wonder if perhaps the dry air helps to speed a battery's demise...

 

it gets to 120 in the summers here

 

Yeah, but it's a "dry" heat.

 

I remember that dry heat. I used to live in laredo Texas. Dryest pace I've ever been
