Hey o. My car battery died just now. It died last week, it was a 2-3 year old Walmart battery, I replaced it with a Walmart battery (I know I know) it was supposed to be only temporary but longer than one week...

Is this just more bad luck? I tried jumping the car when it died but it wouldn't crank even with the jump, the farthest it gets is just lights on the dash come on for a second and then go off. Thoughts?

Did you even get the charging system tested? Or did you just assume, like an idiot, that it was the battery?

The alternator? Afaik you should be able to jump a car even if the alternator is bad?

Just hook up the cables to the dead battery and wait like 30 seconds. That should charge the battery enough to start.
>>
And if it doesn't What could be the problem?

>we used a dolly to roll it out to the parking lot

I use Walmart Batteries still. They have a great warranty, I just wait until it's almost over, leave an interior light on over night and take it to them in the morning with my second car for them to test and replace.

I usually do it about once a year, and we have 3 different walmarts, so I just go to a different one each time, and they never notice the pattern.

Fuel, spark, compression. The three things needed for an engine to work.

Been running almost same scam.

>car has short in wiring
>will kill a brand new 900cca battery in a week
>disconnecting batt at night prolongs this to 2-3 months
>always have bad cells from deep discharge
>batteries roughly $90
>bought original battery in 2004
>swap out for new one 4-6 times a year
>for the last 12 years
>$5400 worth of batteries
>always nervous when I go in, half the time it's someone I saw the last time
>
>they keep fuckin takin em

Install in the car, rinse, and repeat.

See you in two months.

What the fuck, just store use an actual portable jumper. That's what my store has

Could be the starter op. A bad starter usually gets mixed up with a battery because of how slow they die out. What sounds like a dead battery could be a starters last breath
>>
Its most likely a bad alternator. Start the car and disconnect the battery. If it stops running the alternator is dead, if it keeps running then it could be other shit but the alternator is most likely the issue in cases like this.

or you could, you know, fix the fucking problem?

Battery warranties don't last that long anyway.

It's your alternator you fool.
