Odyssey batteries

They need a load put on them for a couple of minutes to basically wake them up before they will start a truck. I have some and really like them, but they go almost dormant if left to sit in the cold. Jump in the truck and turn on every light, fan, wipers etc. Get out of truck and open the hood for a good look at fluid levels and check over like you should every morning anyway before you start it up. Now that the batteries are working some they are waking up ( my term because I don't know what else to call it) shut everything off you turned on, and now crank it over, will start right up.
