Now, where did I put my TimHorton's Tim-bits, eh!,... they go great with whale blubber, eh!

There is no question that extremes of temperature affect battery life. I am lucky to live in a mild climate both summer & winter.

Common sense says more amps are used to start an engine in cold weather compared with warm temps therefore Sugar Rays battery in Toronto has to be in better condition .

Here is a good write up on the benefits & drawbacks of AGM batteries.
