tonight (not actually...cold, understand) so I will

Many years ago I read in that august journal, The
Mother Earth News, that momentarily shorting out the
battery terminals with with a stout screwdriver would
briefly revive a cold, nearly discharged battery.

with the starter.
Yes, there are some hazards involved.
No, I have never tried this myself. At least, not with
my (mand. cont.) ...Vanagon.
Now Matthew, save the profanity for my header
replacement. This is a respectable BB for upstanding
