Then again in the morning start is good.

That has to do with a phenomenon known as "overnight battery recovery."

R u joking!?!?

By the way, i think that the new one needs to be used some times to get to the max power , isn't it?

Moreover, I witnessed the same too. Remember, I said RECOVERY, not recharged.

I don't think so.

It actually does and it is called lead acid formatting period. 

The battery will gain approximately 10-20% more capacity.

Actually that applies only to deep-cycle batteries that are designed to be regularly deeply discharged using most of their capacity. In contrast, starter/cranking automotive batteries are designed to deliver only a small part of their capacity in a short, high-current burst for cranking the engine. It is a different kettle of fish.

Another question:

Can the health of the battery affect negatively the fuel consumption? 

Yes. What exactly do you have in mind?

Yes the alternator will put for effort into charging therefore more load on the engine. 

Therefore more fue consumption.

Before the battery gone bad felly use 25km/L . In the last 2 weeks we are around 20km/L . The only things changed are in order:

-winter tires(but i drove 500km to grap the hard cover for the bed and consumpiotn pretty close)

-brake cylinder

-battery

So i was wondering if the battery influeces the consumpiont

There is one more thing that changed in an infamous, stealthy way. The weather 😎

Ok good.... and still is not harsh winter, my trip to work is 25 km of provincial roads free of traffic jam. Have to re-check tire pressure(apart from one that i had puncture 3 days ago sigh...sigh the only one that the shop used a impact gun over torqued and lost 2 hours to get back on street! Argh argh)

I think you didn't get it. The video is a clever example of using the weight of the car to your advantage when there is not a cheater bar handy and all you have is the jack of the car...

Sorry my fault! But i think that that suggestion didn't work as well because a bent a regular crick key with extension on ! And bent also the spare key !
