Re: Reviving dead car battery. How?



First I would check the alternator to make sure it is charging the battery, second, I would clean the battery terminals and see what happens. Not sure where you live but the cold climate is coming and if you think you are having battery issues now, just wait until it gets cold out there.

For $50-$60 it would be advisable to replace the battery if the old one is marginal.

Helloo..

By theory, the car battery can be assumed dead when it can hold
anymore charge right? But my car battery happens to have the charge
below than 12 hours meaning that I need to jumpstart it every morning.
Then, the battery runs fine all day long. I need your guys(gals)
advice on this. I can buy a new one but if I can still use it, why
not? Also, I don't want to throw the battery as this will pollute the
environment. Hope this post is related to basic electronics.


Thanks.
