Car wont start in the morning... bad battery? Ok, so here is the deal, I think that my battery is bad.
Whenever I turn my car off for a little bit, it seems as if the battery goes dead, or gets really weak, and it wont start... The little bubble thing in my battery that shows the condition of the battery still reads Green... I can jump the car and it runs fine after i get it to start.... My car has been sitting for about 3 months prior to yesterday. So is my battery bad? or is something else draining it?
Thanks for all the help,
Lee

Your battery might have a bad cell...Take it to autozone or walmart and have them test it. If the battery tests good have them test the alternator. Its probobly going to be your battery though.

If the alternator is bad, that would mean that its not charging the battery at all. and after driving for awhile the lights and stuff would get dimmer correct? i have a feeling its the battery.

Awsome i work at walmart also lol but in the Tire And Lube center...Test batteries all the time with these symtoms and that is motsly what comes up on the tester is a dead cell...Get alot of people that have their cars setting for a while and have problems starting. You might be lucky and your battery might just need a recharge. If you have a walmart Ever Start Maxx battery it should have a free 3 year replacement there...of course if it doesnt you can use your 10% discount and get one there lol. I think here where i live they cost 77 bucks plus the $9 Core fee.
