I must have the super mini battery.
I've had mine now for a bit over two years, no problems here either. I will say though that the colder it gets, the more it seems like it wants to die. It has been barely cranking over the past couple of days...keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow.

After driving in the snow this evening, I forgot how much fun it was. As much as I'd like to preserve my car for the summer months, not driving an Evo in the snow is like not using a snowmobile in the winter.

just get a power inverter and leave a toaster oven in the driver side foot well. that should be roughly equivalent.

That was the summer. It was hot in that car.

Put the charger on. Give it a few hours of charging and see if I can get it to crank over.

i would recommend the Ed Begley Jr. brand of mini battery. they actually replaced the cells containing hazardous chemicals with small mice that are coaxed to run on wheels.
