Weired Battery problem.


Recommended Posts

I feel dumb on that snow. Don't really know what those mean. I will have to look in the mornin to see if it is a maintenance free or not. I've only had it for a couple of months. Just picked it up at napa put it in and that was that really. Just went by the charts and their computers. I lack in the batt knowledge area guys. Be patient with me as I learn this from yall. So should I try that jump thing still snow. I did forget to mentioned when it died out lastnight it was unhooked from everything.

Could you post a picture of it?

If it's flooded and the electrolyte is full as strangeduck suggested, there's not really anything you can do. It's not holding a charge. Could be due to a couple of reasons, none of which are repairable or fixable

Well, check for cracks or swelling. Have your alt tested on the car if you can.

Weird things can happpen. I had a windstar that had a short that made the alt charge constantly. It would destroy batteries.

Hopefully we can troubleshoot this enough to find out what happen. It could just be a crap battery or it could be an alt or something else.

Also don't keep running this battery in the car or you might be looking for a new alternator soon. If it's shorted it could be overworking the alternator and kill it quickly.

The battery could have a dead cell. Take it back!!! Had brand new Die Hard back in the day do the same.

Lots of spot on good advice here.....take batt out, charge then let it sit overnight, battery should hold 12 volts...if so, do a battery drain test...should be less than .050 ma after the bcm goes to " sleep" about 15-20 minutes hth
