Car battery keep dying - any idea why?
Battery keeps dying in my 2004 ford card - for the past two daysn even if i keep the lights turned off - and i had to jump start it each time… There's only one time i left the headlights on and battery went down. And it was only for 30 mins. And still doesn't explain how ti could drain so quick. I take my car regularly every day…
only thing i could think of is, i usually keep the gps connected to the 12v port all time even when the car is turned off… Could that be a reason. Or is really time for battery replacement.
is there any place where i could get free battery testing.
Most auto parts stores will test your battery at no charge. There's a good possibility that the battery is failing due to an internal electrical leak that is not a dead short, but is enough that the battery goes down on it's own in a short time.
Other possibility is an alternator (or other electrical component) problem that is drawing the battery down. Part of a battery test is to check the voltage both while connected and when disconnected. That will reveal an external draw - alternator being the most likely.
You can go to advance auto or auto zone or any auto parts store really. They will check battery and alternator for free. And some mechanic will do it for free.
If your battery is original or more than 4 years old, its time to replace it, also check to see that your alt belt is adjusted properly
Easy answer, your battery has gone bad. They don't last forever. Just like cell phones they eventually lose their ability to hold a charge.
- Typical lib thinking? Ford had no idea when it happened, had no idea how she got there, no idea how she left, clueless who was there? And despite that every person she listed as a witness made a statement in a sense said Ford was wrong… The lib brain… Get even at Trump…> yep - Kavanaugh did it.
- Amplifier connected straight to battery with on/off switch would damage battery in any way? So i did this on my ford fusion 2016 straight connected to the battery with the on/off switch but now the car does not want to start as before makes a little noise like when battery its dead but turn on after 3 to 4 seconds any suggestions? Ideas thanks
- Why is my truck battery keeps dying? I checked everything in my truck 92 ford f150, It didn't have this problem until 3 days ago, also three days ago i let my one of roommates have some change out of my truck, and i didn't know if the dome light came on overnight, but i bought a new battery for it (everything is new in the truck) monday night, now tuesday night it won't start, it will not crank over, never had this problem with it, it only has 173k on it too.
- Why won't my car battery keep charge? I have a 2005 Ford expedition. I bought a new battery about 3 weeks ago and now it won't keep charge. Lights work but are dim and it just makes a clicking sound when I try to start it. Also last battery had a lot of corrosion on it. Any idea what it could be? I can't get it to a mechanic because it won't turn on.
