Your battery is fine but will need to be fully recharged. It is your alternator the is going out or very close to bein out now. Replace that and you should be fine.

The easiest thing to do is to check the generator. If you have a voltmeter, check the voltage across the battery terminals while the car is running. You should get a reading of approximately 14.9 volts which means the gererator is working. With the engine off, check the battery voltage, it should be 12 volts. if it reads less (say 9 or 10 volts), the battery is not holding the charge and needs to be replaced. Also make sure you have good CLEAN TIGHT connections between the battery terminals and the leads. Sometimes a loose connection or oxidation between the terminals and the connector causing a poor connection is to blame.

Unit has a draw somewhere that needs to be addressed. I have found the auto starts sometimes can cause this. But if the draw is through the negative side it could be tough. You should take it to the dealer and have them perform a draw test on the entire vehicle.

Alternator is bad. It is not charging the battery as you drive.

My Infiniti FX45 had been stored for 4 months after I received a jump yesterday to get it started. It started. Now, today it will not start. My battery is practically new. What could be the problem?

swing by your local auto parts store for a free load test on the battery, and charging system too

in my area, autozone and advance auto parts does this free service in the parking lot

they'll show you the voltage readings and let you know if your charging system is keeping the battery charged

or if you have a bad cell on that brand new battery (which you can exchange under warranty from the place you bought it from)

I own a kia rio 2011 model, had starting problems in novmeber, so I got a brand new battery, now a month and half later, my car wont start again

It is possible that your new battery has gone bad. The other option for having a dead battery is a draw on the battery by some system not going to sleep

Why does my 95 Corolla always need a jump to start when I have a brand new battery

Hi there!

There may be many issues:
1. Your battery is draining because you might be leaving something switched on after you park the car and go home OR
2. Your alternator is faulty and is not charging the battery.

There is a way check both the issues above.
Start the car and keep it idle for 5 min (no music, no head light, no ac). Pop your hood and remove the positive terminal of the battery using a spanner or plier. If your car shuts down, then you have a faulty alternator! Else get it to an expert epectrician to trace out what is draining your battery.

Hopw this solves the problem.

Hello i have a 2004 expedition , and i have been having issues with my battery draining. about a month and a half ago i went away vacation , came home to start my truck only to relize my battery was dead....

Your solution is a little hard to find too bad they told you to change the alternator. It is a simple fuse you need to change that is blown. on the expetion sometimes there are two one in the fuse box and one under a black cover follow the alternator small wires it should point to the direction of the small i believe 7.5 amp fuse. it was hard to find and i do this for a living. good searching.

When turning key all the way over it simply does nothing what could it be

Hi,
You'll likely need a new ignition switch. (The electrical side) You can confirm this by pulling the lower steering cover when issue is occurring, and using a test light on the black and yellow wire when turning key to "Start" position. If test light doesn't illuminate, replace switch. (Easy)

Thank You for contacting Fixya.com
