Starter motor vs idle time

As a matter of interest … This week it has been particularly cold here, 30 degrees below freezing. I started my truck on Sunday evening, drove to NYC and turned it off on Wednesday night when I plugged it into the mains at home to keep the engine warm, I then started it on Thursday morning and didn’t turn it off again until Friday afternoon back at home. Next week it will be running from Monday until I come home on Friday. I know my company monitor it.

Things could be better if this country got into the 21st century, cylinder preheaters have not been invented here yet :laughing: If they had they would flatten the batteries because a 24 volt system for vehicles has also not been invented :laughing:
