Miss Marple is hard to start when it's around freezing temps. But, if I put
a battery blanket around the SUs for a short time, she will start up pretty
nicely. She does turn over well. I did remark that she seemed to start
quicker after the connection was replaced than she had on previous
occasions, but she had been started a few hours earlier so I discounted it
and made a mental note to pay attention next time. ( probably misplaced the
note by now. )
