I jump started my RX7 with my B series 93 hatch and it took a bit to get it started. then it died again and I started it accidently with the civic off but jumper cables still hooked up.

Now my car dosent seem to start as quickly as usual and a couple times I have gotten in and turned the key and noting happnes then I try it again and the car starts.........wtf

Could I have fryed my starter or battery???? this sucks

 

i think your batterys just drained, take it to autozone and they recharge for free, i jump started my cousins piece of crap prelude and it drained my battery dry

 

**** i drove it 20 miles today to a friends house and 20 miles back.......maybe I will toss it on a friends charger

 

yeah sometimes jumping someone wiht your battery will drain it somewhat. I've heard it will kill it quicker, but that hasn't been my experience. I jump people without a second thought.

 

well since the RX7 has been in storage for a while I cranked it over a few times to get oil pressure and also since its an RX7 it died a bunch of times after I got it started so I jumped it quite a few times

 

i jump started many people with my original battery, and that damn thing lasted almost 8 years before it finally gave out. best case scenario (which i highly suspect is what you have here), the battery got drained, and hasn'tbeen fully recharged by the alternator (which, as i understand it, the alternator won't fully charge it from a complete drain). hook it up to a battery charger, and then you should be fine.

worst case scenario, you might have killed a cell. if that happened, it's time to get another battery, unfortunately. i say just take it to Autozone/O'Reilley's/Kragen/Pep Boys or any other shop around you and have them check the charge.

 

Just buy a optima battery, those things take a beating and then some, u can even mount it upside down just for kicks so that next time u jump someones car they can be amazed at the amazing civic with the upside down battery

 

Well I have a 3 month old battery from Les Schwab so if it is fucked I will try to con them into giving me another. Would suck if I toasted a 60 month battery 3 months into it lol

I know optimas are good but do they make one smallenough to fit in the stock location? And no I dont want to mount one in the hatch

 

yup, optima batteries are the ****! you wouldn't believe what mine has had to put up with!
