I've installed a charger for the same reason if different temperatures. Repeated starting in the winter here are killer on the battery. I do enough highway driving during the summer that it's pretty much topped up, but winter brings many short drives for me. Good find on the charger man, mine was 2/3 off for $20. Hard wired into the car and uses the same plug as the block heater. Now I need a Kill-a-watt so I can measure what I'm putting in.
Back on the topic of 'LOG', I'm thinking about the best combination to mix together for a slushbox, as I can only coast to a stop with the engine off. The tranny REALLY doesn't like being put back in drive after being put in neutral unless I'm jogging speed or below. I'm P&Ging with 70% load in the city, but never thought to use it on the highway, DWL on our few overpasses and bridges, and EOC to stops. Any other thoughts?
