Batteries that have been left in an uncharged state will sulfate the plates and render them useless. Only by removal of the sulfate will they be useful again. This is a
very expensive process only accomplished commercially.
Replace battery and keep it fully charged to prevent sulfation. This can be done using a battery maintainer not
to be confused with a trickle charger. Maintainer only charges battery when needed not all the time like a trickle
charger. A trickle charger will also cause a battery to become dry which also damages the cells.

SOURCE: Replaced battery, started 5 - 6 times, new battery ded.

Nope, but they are usually near the battery, solenoid or starter (where main service wires are)

SOURCE: New battery & still won't start. Won't even make a noise. DEAD!

sounds like you have a problem with either the ignition switch itself or the solenoid on the starter if you jump positive power to the small wire on your starter and it turns the starter then it would be your ignition switch if it does not turn it replace your starter

SOURCE: 2001 Avalon was dead (battery). Won't start or jump

Assuming the motor is not frozen, you are probably not getting 12 V *at the starter motor* while cranking.
Also, try charging the battery; a dead battery may draw so much power from the jump that there still is not enough left for the starter - specially if you are using marshmallow $5.00 jumper cables.
Check it out and correct the problem (Bad ground?).
If this is a manual transmission, you can check tha the motor is not frozen by putting it in 3rd gera and rocking it to see if the motor turns. Remember to put it back in neutral befor you play some more with the starter motor

SOURCE: battery keep going dead, has new battery

Have you checked to see if the alternator is charging ? Run a volt meter on the battery with the engine running, have to have more than 14 volts. If 13 or less, then replace the alt.

SOURCE: 2001 Corvette would not start, wouldn't even turn

From your symptoms, you are probably experiencing a bad starter relay, or bad starter. These are often intermittent problems, but can both cause it to act this way. The remote has nothing to do with it. I would start with the relay, and if not the relay, it's likely the solenoid portion of the starter. If it's the starter solenoid, then you may be able to take it apart and replace the contacts in it, which is usually where they go bad.

Battery light has been coming on & off dashboard now it's starting to not want to start(crank)

That battery lamp is really named wrong, it is the Alternator (gen) lamp, and if it glows, most times the ALT is bad
or fuses blown. 3 fuses, #1 ,#2 fuse and # alt-s,,
this makes the battery go dead, parked or driving. dead ALT.
so , charge the battery first using a thing called a battery chargers.
if that sounds hard, tow the car to any ASE shop to fix it.
walmart does batteries new but never do the do alternators. new.
see? only real shops do it all. end to end.

The whole car runs off that Alternator, (gen) if bad the battery goes dead fast, even in 1 hours driving, and then car stalls or you
key off and the starter can not crank the engine now, that the battery is mostly discharged.
to start the car a jumper cable start up will work but we see removing the cables the engine stalls that is a dead alternator
the car the lamp glowing is called CHARGE lamp, and is wired directly to the ALTERATOR pin B4 AND WHEN GLOWS
  • ALT IS BAD,
  • 3 FUSES TO ALT ARE BAD.
  • OR BELT DRIVING ALT IS LOOSE OR SLIPPING ETC.
pin b3 is ECU controls of ALT.

What makes Battery Light flash on and off on a 2000 grand vitara

This can usually be traced to the alternator belt slipping...aged, stretched, and needs replaced. Do have the charging system (alternator, batttery) tested for free at your local parts store before you may be stranded with a dead (uncharged battery) Hope this helps.

Battery is dead. It can be jumped, but won't hold the charge if you shut the car off. 2008 Chevy Impala ltz. We were on the road and stopped for a overnight stay. When we got ready to leave the next...

Battery is shot, buy a new one (possibly get some warranty credit if it is new enough). I just had a co worker ask me about the same problem today and the dealer replaced his battery in his Jeep. The new maintenance free batteries only last approximately 5 years and they don't give you a heads up like they use to in the old days. I have started cars in the morning and noticed that they start a little hard that day. The next time I try to start it, the battery is dead.

Back in the day, I think we had a little more warning because we had to crank the engines longer. With the electronic ignition and fuel injection the modern engines crank so easy, so we don't put a lot of strain on the batteries and when they go they go.

Battery was dead, tried to boost car with cables, no charge at all, bought new battery next evening the car is completely dead...again, could it be alternator not charging?

You are probably correct on the bad alternator...Did your battery shop test the old battery? As you get your Mazda running again...(limited use with bad alternator) most parts stores can test the alternator output to confirm it is bad...Hope this helps.

I believe i have a weak battery on my car when i tried starting the car after it had sat a month it was dead. I boosted it and it started and run fine. I bought a trickle charger and put it on the battery....

The charger shouldn't have hurt the battery but corrosion is caused by fumes from the battery being charged or used. If you know the cable ends are clear, the battery probably has a dead cell and will need replaced. Most parts stores will do a load test on the battery for free.

I have a 1993 Jaguar xJ6 and it has been in storage for about 2 years. I got it out today to give it a run and as I was driving along it cut out and all electrics are totally dead. Is there a central place...

check all the battery cables and any wires connected to battery for corrosion and breakage. When cars are stored for long periods of time the electric wires and cables become corroded and can be cut in two, not makeing connection. ay not be able to see this with the naked eye. Can also do the wiggle test, by wiggleing the wires connected to battery while having the key in the on poition, with the emergency brake on, wheels blocked and car in park. listen and see if it makes any sound as you wiggle each cable and wire. You should hear the alarm inside the car, watch and see if the lights come on and off as you do this as well. (turn on the head lights before hand, and watch the lights...as you wiggle the wires. if they do come on and off as you do this, you may need to clean or replace that wire.

Car has been sitting 5 months without being started

the battery may be shorted out. do you have a meter to check a batteries condition? if not take the battery into the parts store and they can tell you if it has a dead short in it which means the plates inside the battery have sulphated together and wont allow current to pass through them. lead acid batteries are real bad about this if they go completly dead even if they are newer batteries.
