Stop in for a cup of coffee

I had a fun-filled morning. My wife went to the grocery store at 7 am to do the weekly shopping early in the day to beat the crowds. When she came out...dead battery.

So I trudged over to the store to jump the car. I keep telling her that she’s not running the car enough and draining the battery. In the cold this morning, she started it and ran the 10 mins to the store and shut it down giving it no time to charge up. Do that a few times and let it sit for days in-between and the battery slowly drains to lower and lower levels.

I got it Home and let it run for an hour in the driveway and shut it off. I checked it 2 hours later and the battery was at 12.7 volts. Battery is fine, just not getting charged enough.

I made her take my daughter on a 2 hour errand trip this afternoon without turning the car off for the entire time. Maybe she will finally listen to me...yeah...maybe.
