I would think that starting the car is a pretty big demand though for
a short time. Given good weather and daylight, the number of days
you can drive on one battery is probably limited by how many times
your start it (twice a day, to and from work?) more than by the
actual distance you drive. But then, what do I know?

Tha's what I wuz gonna' suggest. Just carry a spare battery! It's
cheap insurance.
