My battery is dead! So i thought i would go buy a battery booster from autozone. Said it has 700amp peak. This was the biggest they had. Thought i would be enough. Let it charge all day yesterday and today. Go and try to jump my car and the starter barley i mean barley turns over. WHAT THE CRAP! So were can i get a higher amp battery booster that you know works?

 

how is the fluid level of the battery? All the Sub atomic particles required to transfer between the lead plates might have been used up as well.

 

This is a new battery. I have the car parked in the garage. I should be turning it on every week but i dont. I think i let it sit for a month or 2 without turning the car on. The battery is pretty much new still

 

Why don't you just jump it?

Sub atomic particles

 

i know they are not sub atomic...i dont remember the word. Take it to autozone and have them test it...might be a bad cell

 

Could be a bad battery from the manufacturer, like drinkmorebeer said probably a bad cell. A battery in this condition will do just what you are saying yours does. Try a jump with the battery disconnected and the booster hooked to the battery cables. If it starts the battery is toast, if it does the same check your cables and connections, but the booster/charger may be bad. Oh, also double check and make sure that booster is not a "trickle charge only" model, if it is it could take a few days to fully charge.

Sub atomic particles, I know what you meant, but I can't remember what they are called either. I want to say electrolytes, but i don't think that's right either. I will remember later as I am drifting off to sleep....

 

yeah electrolytes...thats what it is. Been a while since i was in my Physics class.

 

sounds like you killed your battery. if your not gonna drive the car you should get a maintainer. I have one on Mom's 636, bikes only been out a handful of times and still has the stock battery.

Schumacher / 1.5 Amps Trickle Battery Charger

 

So you guys think my battery is dead like i should replace it dead or charge it up. Im going to try to jump it with another car. if it turns over and the battery holds a charge then i know what the problem is.
----------
Thanks Terrell! Im going to get my money back for that battery booster and get that trickle charger.

 

Next time just un-hook the bat when you store it. It will keep from killing it over time.

 

Thought about that, but that means that i have to reprogram my radio every time i drive it. So i wont be doing that. To much to adjust. And im not really storing it away. When the weather is nice i drive it. going to work on it this weekend before sunday. Get this crap fix

 

no..... you were right in my book.... electrons are sub atomic particles and are the only things that are actually getting transferred through the wire. The "electrolytes" remain within the battery and it is the electrochemical difference between two different kinds of seperated electrolytes that force the electrons from one section of the battery, through the wire, to the other section.

My smiley was in appreciated of your nerdy reference, not a mockery of it

 

I'll make it short. My advice is to charge your battery first then recheck. Battery should reach 13.6 volts after fully charge. Yes, 13.6 volts.

 

I get my production of Radiation all confused sometimes. We had to know how Transformers and power supplies affected radiation production. Single and triple phase gens on output quality. Electron cloud production by a cathode with transfer to Tungsten anode t74. Electrons replacing electrons of the tungsten creating a ricochet affect producing a penetrating beam.

Batteries was one of them...and i remember from my aviation class about Nic cad batteries. They dont slowly fail like car batteries....as for you cant see the decline. They just drop off.

I want to put my battery in my trunk...but i do not know how everything hooks. The smog system is very intimidating to someone who is unknown to smog. Back home we just rip it all out...but i was Carb setup back then.

 

well joey just take your battery to a kragen and ask them to charge the battery heres the kicker our machines are lame and you really have to work them it doesnt like really discharged batterys so i do this all day long

put the charger on manual mode for 1.5 hrs if it doesnt move in 30 mins in cca (cold cranking amps) than its dead . how ever 95% of the time they take a charge its always from sitting too that they get discharged things like radio, ecm, and stuff takes small ammounts of power constantly even with the key off to keep the "memory"

so get it charged up than slap a maintainer on there

this one is good cause it has a cable you can permanatly install on your battery so its a quick connection every time you park the car, also its a maintainer not just monitor.

if you need a new battery I recommend the marathon batteries we sell at kragen, im not pushing the battery because I work there, but I bought one personally, its the best lead acid battery we sell, and ive killed that thing like 6 times dead back when I was trying to get my iroc started, and that sucker would charge upwards of 900cca every time i recharged it, and its warranty it awesome to boot.
they are rated 690cca in a group 75dt (dual terminal) but like i said, its easy to get 900 out of them and they like to die and be recharged similiar to a deep cycle.

 

My dad had a charger. Charged my battery all night. Installed it and BOOM!! My car starts with no issue at all. Im never buying that stupid battery booster! Im going to get that maintainer with the money i get back. Feels good. I also had an extra light for my car. replaced the passenger headlight and WOW! I can see again. Had to get this done cause those roads are dark at night.

Thanks for everyones help! See you all on sunday!! WORD!!!!

 

marathon battery uses silver plates not lead. believe it or not I actually sold one the other day.

 

a used one those autozone people although i have an autozone battery in my truck cause it was free and brand new lol ive killed that thing down to 2 volts too many times to count my truck has a parasitic draw so it happens alot when i forget to disconnect the battery . chrages up 100% every time

 

nope new , guy came in and ask about the difference between autozone and kragen batterys. I told him more about the kragen batterys them the people at kragen.

 

Glad to see she's running.

 

At first I didnt get it, until i remembered who you now work for lol.
