i just bought the battery last month and just put it in last friday until this afternoon my battery was totally dead no juice in it. now my question what can kill the battery in 1 week ?and this is bullshit in 1 week my battery goes dead

 

Maybe just a little more info is needed to help you.

 

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 ?

 

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.

 

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 ?

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

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 ?

 

and yeah i always keep my dome lights off

 

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.

 

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

 

yea it broke off couple days ago

 

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

 

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

 

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?

 

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

 

that or a junkyard.

 

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

 

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.
