That's nonsense. Check the FAQ under Maintenance. You'll find several excellent videos by Scotty

Check condition of battery terminals, check grounds (especially ground from engine to chassis), and do a voltage drop test on the cables.

Please see the no start topic in our FAQ and see if it helps. Watch the videos there.
