Started the day off by starting the car up real quick to move the car so I could detail the car and then when it was time to drive it back in, it dies. I could tell that the car was trying to turn over and then after a few times of trying you can tell that the battery was drained. It became slow and difficult to roll up/down the windows and I couldn't turn on the radio. After I got it jump started all seems well so far, but I'd like to get suggestions as to what happened and if there any damages that may have been caused that I should be concerned about? Btw I'm not running any type of sound system, just got a regular alarm system. All suggestions will be appreciated

It might be time to change the battery? Stock battery gets bad too.

yeah. most likely dying battery, bet when you were detailing you had the door/trunk open = lights = small drain, depending how long you left it open it might have killed/drained a weak battery.

[QUOTE=ikeyballz,Apr 19 2009, 03:35 AM] yeah.

ahrmike

yup! My battery is on its way out...when I left my door+ trunk open for a few hours when I was detailing/working on car, i noticed the starter straining. Gonna pick up a new battery soon, you should too.

so what kind of battery are you guys getting.
i have to get one too.im thinking about getting a wallmart battery

I've heard of Braille which is smaller in size which saves weight and I also believe that it offers more power output. But I think I'll go with the Walmart since it comes with a warranty

ahrmike

yep. same here. I might go with a costco battery since their warranty is awesome.

I went with a Odessey 680 (I believe that's the model) light weight battery, this thing is half the size of the OEM ...

Anybody know the type of warranties available for various batteries?
