Yeah man if I were you I'd just spring for a high end battery with 850+ CCA and AGM as well. Probably run you $150 or so but that should do the trick, still much cheaper then a new cheaper battery every year. A good battery should last 5 yrs.

Maybe you've been just buying crap batteries and just torturing them in the extreme cold making them work at their limits.

I have this one for past 2 yrs, it cranks good all the time. I always remote start my truck when it's sub 10 degrees and it just cranks.

It's only 775CCA, works for me though.

I ended up getting an Optima yellow-top 750CCA today. I will see how it does, if it last me more than a year I will be happy...
