On cold days, it takes longer for it to start, meaning I have to hold the key longer before it'll kick over. Is this normal or should I think about getting a new battery?

 

If you have neon or what not it will happen a lot... It did to me, but i got a new battery and it still does it... and not even on cold days necessarily. Dont worry till the battery goes dead.

 

sorry bro, no fast and furious neons for me:fawk:

 

what i notice is that when my car reaches about 1/4 tank left..i'll hafta turn the key longer before it'll start. this goes for hot or cold weather

 

yeah, that happens too, but id say when it gets to about 1/8 tank

 

ya..tru...1/4 tank left it's very minor...u prolly won't really notice...but 1/8 das when i sometimes get worried...but once i fill up...it's a flash to start the car.

 

yep, when im on low on gas it takes a while to crank. i just changed my battery about a few weeks ago cuz that shiat kept on happening even when i had a full tank and when it wasnt cold. then it just wouldnt turn over at all. jumped the car and the next time i try to crank it up it wouldnt turn over. with my new battery, its not too bad when its cold but when im almost on E it still does it.

 

yep, same here. but even on a full tank of gas, if it's cold outside, it takes a while, longer than normal and it kinda seems like it's having a hard time. I trip out sometimes, wondering when im gonna go out there and the damn thing isn't gonna start at all.

 

maybe I should invest in a good battery w/as much cca's as possible, any recommendations?

 

my 4th gen does the same thing. i got my battery checked out about a month or 2 ago and they said its at a good level and probly wouldnt need to be replaced for a while. i guess its just a normal thing
