Battery Problem??

Car wouldn't start, turn the key forward it acts like its a low battery, starter makes noise but wont crank the motor over. Noticed the lights dim when I turn the key forward and try to start it, figure thats normal for a low battery, but the speedometer goes up to when I crank it. Kinda threw me off, to maybe I have a issue else where.

well why dont you just get 12 volts of power to it and see if it fixes it?

jump start it, get a battery charger, or borrow a battery from another car

Well to my luck I think my battery charger just died, gonna pull the battery tomorrow morning and have it put on a real battery charger, see if that fixes it. I need to start putting it in the garage backwards so I can actually jump it with another car, you would think I would have learned my lesson by now.

Looks like its a bad starter, charged the jumper up, tested the batter it said it had power, went to start it, starter just clicked a lot. After that tried again, stopped clicking just saw the lights turn out when I turned the key forward, starter wont even click now. Time to yank it.
