Hey guys, yesterday my battery died so i called AAA and they came out and jumped the car. This morning when I woke up I went into the garage tried to start the car and no power. There is power to the dashboard and all the electronics (Fading away slowly as i can tell when i push the lock button on the key) So I was wondering, should I get a new battery or just jump it again and hope this time it'll work.

Thanks guys

ugh new battery dude

 

^+1 Yep, sounds like it's time for a new one.
I usually go to Sears and have them test the battery 1st.

 

Just get a new battery! That should fix that problem.

 

^yup and sears will test out the alternator too jus to make sure its working

 

Ight thanks guys! Any recomendations on which battery to get? Or does it not really make a difference? Not to car savy

 

try this sight.

^jus be sure to get the one with the higher cold cranking amps. gives the car more juice when u start it

 

I had 2 batterys with in 4 years... whats with that???????

 

Lol i think the reason for why mine is completely dead is cause when i moved here i bought the car but didn't have my license on me or even have the car registered so i couldn't drive it. so i would sit in the garage with the key in playing the music and F**king with the electronics and stuff. Had AAA come out and jump it once, ran for 2 weeks, last night died, jumped it, this morning dead. Idk why its dead haven't used it from the moment it got jumped to the time i woke up and started the car to give it a little charge but oh well. Guess I'm getting a new battery :P

 

iirc (forgot where i got this info from) once the battery charge goes under 12volts it loses its capability to hold the sufficient charge (12v) or something like that and u will eventually need to replace it anyway.

 

True, Got mine changed 2 days ago. I had the old one checked by Autozone, they said it was DEAD! Turned it in and got a discount. The new one is a bit less powerful, about 750 amps If I'm not mistaken. Starts the car just fine. Gotta test it really cold.

 

Can someone please explain to me why a stronger car battery is better? other than itll prolly last longer why is it better to havea stronger battery?

I would recommend buying a cheap voltometer and test volts after sitting over night. then test voltage drop upon starting. sometimes all you need is a recharge after sitting. sounds like you do need a new battery but get the $10 voltmeter for future battery needs, there is tons of info online on batterys-how to test, optimizing battery life, etc.

 

OPs battery is dead and needs to be replaced

Sears get Die Hard Gold or Autozone Duralast Gold they are the same battery.
