    I live in Chicago and both my relatively new cars wouldn’t start without a jump last week…

      Sorry to hear that! You might benefit from a battery tender or one of those jump starter devices like the Halo.

      I had to jump my mother in law last week and we might get her one as a birthday present. Her situation wasn’t directly cold related though, her negative terminal was super corroded. Ended up needing a battery and the terminal cable replaced.
