My car is small, a Honda Civic Coupe 2 door and my sister has a Civic also and I had enough length to reach. I'm not even sure what the length of mine are, but it wasn't a tight stretch between the battery hookups. It got the job done, that's most important. I will check the water though like you said.

Most of the civic batteries are pretty small, normally under 500 CCA, sometimes only 340 CCA or so. I had a brand new 500 CCA battery installed and it was tough to turn it over today, so I can imagine a battery that's a tad on the older side struggling.

A balmy +5 here at 6 am.. Actually feels pretty good.  If your battery made it through the weekend, then your smooth sailing. These temps. were a much better check than any load test going.

Now comes the snow...looks like this will be the first time I get to shovel the drive this year...no complaints.

And 40-50 degrees on the way for this weekend. Pretty nice winter all around.

No, but I trust Amazon and the reviews. This one seems extremely affordable.

Why would anyone wait for something that is needed now.I may pay alittle more/or less at the time but if I need something I am not waiting for Amazon never purchased from them never will.

It's something people call, being prepared. It's like, why have underwear in your drawer when you need it now? Because you're going to shower eventually and change them right? Why carry jumper cables when you don't need them now? Because maybe it might save you a tow? Why carry this extremely portable booster/phone charger? I think you get the point.

This topic is about the arctic blast, not how you hate Amazon.

The fuel system in my van is frozen, lines and/or injectors I believe. I ran the battery down trying to get it to fire yesterday morning. The sun was shining so I opened the hood and put a black tarp over the engine compartment hoping it would thaw out. No such luck.

I don't need to be anywhere for a couple of days so it's not a big deal, except that I'm out of beer.

Temperature is supposed to be around freezing tomorrow, so I'll see if that helps.

Takes quite a bit to freeze gasoline, unless it's a diesel.

My husbands truck froze yesterday. He was all kinds of lights on. It would start but sounded sick. I guess it's fine now so I am not sure why he is driving my jeep. It has no heat to it.

No, hasn't worked maybe 2-4 yrs. I never used it too much. I did change thermostat 3 months ago, thought maybe I should have heat.

I think the lines are plugged.

Thermostat in a car doesn't dictate heat, it's more the heater core that may be the problem. There's a valve that's generally operated by vacuum that opens when you tell it to in the cabin controls. Checking the valve operation could tell you more on where the problem may be.

A common cause for "no heat" in the cabin is low antifreeze levels. Have someone bleed the system for air and it may solve the problem. Was there any leaks, work done around the time you lost heat? Like, water pump, thermostat, radiator, a water line, anything like that?

If you have prime it is free two day shipping....way better then struggling from store to store and being force to buy whatever product is left on the shelf.

By shopping online you save time(which everyone should place a value on), gas money, and so on an so on.

Just my two cents.
