It's the cold mornings that cause the starting troubles. Both battery
and charging have been tested and are ok.

What temperature was the battery when it was tested? Really cold like
it would be after standing overnight or just a few degrees warmer
after starting and run to the garage to be tested?

When the battery was going in my car I knew it might be interesting
starting if it was cold but just a few degrees warmer there wasn't a
problem. Could almost use the ease, or not, of starting as a
thermometer. B-)

My friend's Lada manual had a bit saying if it was really cold, turn the
headlamps on to warm the battery up before trying to start :-)
