Battery is dead for sure, but I wonder what is killing it...

[Kale]

Charge battery overnight, starts great in the morning. Starts OK at lunch. Starts OK night. Well, my headlight pod freaked out so i had ot work on it with the headlight on. FOR NO MORE THAN 5 MINUTES ON TIME... the battery was *COMPLETELY DEAD* after that. so obviously this battery is toast... but what is killing the battery in the car, I wonder? Hmn... No interior lights or accessories still run after its shut off. hmnnnn. [Modified by Kale, 4:41 PM 1/29/2004]

Go to your nearest Autozone or Advance Auto and have them check battery, alt, and current draw. They do it for FREE :hurray:

When I bought my white Talon TsiAWD it came with an Autozone battery. Damn thing died a week later. I took it to Autozone and they comfirmed a bad cell and it was only a few months old. But the bastards would not honor their warrenty since I was not the the original owner of the battery. Needless to say I did not buy another one, I now have a Optima in her and since she is in storage next to the vette it has a Battery Tender on her too.

If I was you, I'd try to get the cost of the bad Autozone battery applied to a Optima, it is worth a try. Good luck :cheers:
