My trick in cold weather is, before attempting to start the car,
turn on the headlights for a minute or so. Turning the lights on
gets the battery warmed up slowly. You'll be surprised at how fast
the car will crank after trying this. It never failed me in -40F
with my 4 year old battery in my 70 Mercury with a 390.
