[QUOTE="HotRodZilla, post: 1303142, member: 13519"] I do think more than a month was probably hard on your battery, just because of the maintenance draw the FJR has. What I don't know is exactly how long you can let it sit before it totals your battery. Alan or someone will come by with the math to show how long it [I]should[/I] last, but what should happen and what do happen are two different things. You are correct that to a point, a new battery will hide a FUBAR starter. Happened twice in my wife's Expedition. Next time, I'll know better. Before spending money on even a new battery, I would test that starter and figure out EXACTLY what is taking a dump. It would make me grumpy to spend $100 on a new battery I don't need, especially if I spent that and then had to buy a new starter also. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
