That's interesting because about 3 years ago I went through 4 of those advance auto brand battery's in the course of three months (under warranty...thankfully) due to bad cells and that's when I decided to go back to Interstate...Oh well I'm sure it was an isolated incident and not a good indication of their overall quality... but on the other hand everyone in my family has used Interstate their entire lives in all of our farm and excavation equipment as well as our vehicles and never once had a problem with them within their normal lifespan... but I'm sure that too is an isolated incident and not a good indication of their of quality. Everybody has their reasons for their brand preference.

 

It's a Napa brand battery. We'll see what it's like in the morning. It may have just been weak due to my daughters leaving the light on without me noticing. It happened a couple of years ago, but that battery was toast after being drained.

 

its the battery...land rovers do require 700+ cca in the winter for sure....i had a 550 in her and she had a rough time

 

After sitting from mid afternoon yesterday to just a few minutes ago, she fired up with zero hesitation. The weather is cool and wet outside. Seems I dodged a bullet this time (i.e. draining it didn't kill the battery).

Now, for the lesson to my daughters about the cabin light...
