4DRmafia

ok heres what i did i bought a brand new battery last month and leave it in my house where it is cold and now i put the battery in my car last friday and the car starts fine no plm until today i needed to go somewhere and the car wont start and nothing lights up and the battery just comptetly dead in 1 week and what can cause it to go dead in 1 week ?

Lil Red CRXsi

Ok so your car sat about a whole week without being started up at all-right?
Something is drawing the battery down-like a car alarm,stereo,etc.

4DRmafia

yea my car sat the whole week and it did start it, it was running good then today i notice my dome lights wasnt on so i just went ahead on turn on key then the car wont start at all then i test the battery and it dead. what could it be ?

4DRmafia

and i dont have have a car alarm or a stereo ,just an stock radio with only poineer speakers

HatchBox

did you charge the battery after you purchesed it? you are supposed to to get the fullest power from it

4DRmafia

yea just a lil, what can i charge it with ?

Lil Red CRXsi

Are you sure both doors where closed all the way?I know (even with the dome light in the off position)my car won't start the next day.

4DRmafia

well yes but on the driver side dont have the door striker it broken off and i was planning to go get a new 1, u think that the plm ?drive around with no door striker ?

4DRmafia

and yeah i always keep my dome lights off

HatchBox

well a battery charger? But once the battery has been used, it will not be able to go back to 100%

From what i understand batterys have a memery, if you charge them to 100 % before use they will always recharge to 100%

now if you only charge the battery 50% and then use it, it will never be charged over 50%

and so on and so on...

moral of the story, buy a otimum batter or a sealed battery and not have to worry about that.

4DRmafia

yea...they go like what ? 100bucks lol?

I don't know for sure,but it could be a draw.Did it break recently?
Never overlook the basics first

4DRmafia

yea it broke off couple days ago

Lil Red CRXsi

I would replace that first-your problem might just be solved

I think you are thinking about a cell phone or a cordless tool batteries-not a car battery.By the way most car batteries are sealed now

Full Race A6

I got my optima yellow top for 80 bucks

Obviously theres something just draining you battery when the car is off

I know my cig lighter was killing my car until i started just sticking a voltmeter in the wires to see what was hot when the car was off

4DRmafia

does a unpluged cig lighter cause this too,bec my cig lighter is unpluged bec some 1 cut the wire going to the cig and i dont know which 1 to go, and WOT where did u buy the battery at?

4DRmafia

and where do i get a new door striker at too? honda dealership?

Lil Red CRXsi

that or a junkyard.

4DRmafia

ok figures so u think a unpluged cig lighter will draw the battery?

shawn_crx

No. An unpluged cig lighter does not draw the battery.
Best bet is to go back and get a new one. It should come with warranty.
