| Help... Battery Problems by karo93(op): 5:23pm On Apr 11, 2017 |
I have not driven my car for three weeks, i however warm it for at least 5minutes and sometimes 20mins daily.... Today my battery failed to start the car.... Another battery started the car without delay..... The battery is only 7 months old.... What could be the possible causes of this problem and how could we take better care of our batteries in the future?.... Thanks in anticipation Cc Gazzuz |

Lol..... We are talking about a car..... Camry 05,i suspect the alternator is not charging the battery but how do i diagnose it? The mechanic i saw just concluded that its the battery and he will charge it but i guess there is more to it..... Thats why i am here to get concrete opinions and suggestions before i see another mechanic. Thanks boss |

Against the backdrop that i am currently quite busy to spend time with mechanics and autos in diagnosing this problem....... How effective can i be if i get my battery charged and constantly disconnect my battery wen i park the car to avoid discharge...... On the chances the alternator isnt charging the battery. How long can i use this manoever before the battery discharges again?!...... Thanks in anticipation |

Is it possible that my car mp3 which is never removed from its outlet was a cause of the battery drainage? |
