Hey,
Today it was -10 in the night and -1 in the mormjng, my car started normally in the morning, then i went to wash it started normally again and when i did the vacuuming the battery went flat… I listened to the radio and the battery is 1 year old… when we jumped the car everything was normal and the car works normally now…

Batteries don't like the cold, and diesel engines don't like lots of short start/stops as it takes a lot out of the battery. If you're going to run a vacuum I'd keep the engine running personally.

This morning the battery went dead again… it measured 12.5 volts but got no starting power… bought a new 85ah 860a battery
