Will not charge up has been sitting for along time.

If the camera has been sitting around I would suggest that the battery is dead and will not charge because its been not charged in a long time. Sitting without being charged will kill a battery.

Just because you have new batteries, it does not mean that the batteries have not been sitting on a shelf somewhere for a long time. When batteries sit for a long time they loose their ability to hold a charge. Return the batteries for a new set.

need to check the charging system..when a car sits for a long time the battery should be disconnected or compl,etely removed..sounds like operating voltage is too low check the alternator for stuck brushes or malfunctioning regulator..should show around 14.5 -16 volts..

I don,t think there a sure way to know,besides a visual inspection for tears ,loose ness .If the car has been sitting along time,or its been over 70 000 miles.Id change it,A new belt could save you a towing charge or more;

If the scooter was sitting unused for a long period of time, the gel inside the batteries may have gone solid and will not allow a full charge. You may need to replace the batteries due to the damaged cells. If you know the brand of controller that is on the scooter, you can look up the lights codes here:

Good luck!

These cars have become notorious for high battery drain when parked. Coupled with the "exterior illumination" feature that turns on the headlights whenever you unlock the doors remotely, they discharge batteries at an alarming rate when just putted around town. This started happening to ours, and I removed the battery and opened it up (yes, you CAN do that, if you know what you're doing) and sampled the specific gravity. After a low rate recharge, ALL cells were actually a bit on the high side, typical for a cheap OEM battery, but indicating that there was a charge present. After three days of sitting and some cold weather, it wouldn't crank the engine again. The problem appears to be around town driving, along with the unneccesary use of headlights when unlocking, with the high current drain when parked thrown in. Also, the typical cheap Chrysler battery terminals need constant cleaning/burnishing. I highly recommend this and protective grease. Since doing this, I've had some "low charge" incidents, but the car always starts.

Hi
Trace the positive wire from the battery to the starter. From there it should go to the alternator. It sits along the side of the engine and your serpentine belt drives it. Just make certain you disconnect the battery before you start messing with it.

hey all, althought the manual says to hold down '0' along with the power button, which didt work.

For me it worked by holding '2' then turning on the mic (pressing the power button).

So try all the numbers.

your car will always have something being powered but its a trickle amount[computer-entry control[keyless entry]-radio memory-etc if ur going to let it sit for a month with battery connected yes your battery will more than likely be dead when u disconnect it ur also clearing all codes and memory in computer and components auto stores sell a trickle charger/maintain charge charger for long term storage there used for any type battery boats ,cars,atvs ,planes,etc the charger maintains the charge in a battery it goes on and off when needed

check the ground to battery and clean posts if need be, also make sure that the alternator is at proper charging rate. a fully charged battery with engine off should read at least 12.5 or higher. when running the battery should read 14 volts or a little higher. clean corrosion from case also if need be. if the above does not work check engine ground.
