If all you asked him to do was start it, why was it in drive?

I think someone went for a joy ride!

when dealing with possible idiots, do the work yourself. Bust out your multimeter. easy

You can have static voltage without amperage. The tester is able to analyze the battery and determine the cranking amps. So even though the battery may have 12.6V (fully charged), it may only have 50 cranking amps out of the 700 it’s rated for, which means the battery is bad. Voltage alone cannot determine the health of a battery.

Pretty sure the process for that is using a multimeter have someone start the car. if it dips below 10 bad battery. As well as resting should be about 12.6.

Two out of three ain't bad ...

Which two? Minnesota and?

Minnesota in the winter ain't never making my list of places I want to go. Been there, done that, a couple of times. No thanks.

It’s not that bad and the snow is lots of fun too!

prince is dead so unless you're a big morris day fan...MN doesn't seem like a big draw.

Snowmobiles, hunting, ice houses, plus live driving the Raptor in the snow!
