Starting problem!!!
Ok, if I let my car sit more than a couple days without starting it, when I try to start it it wont. It turns over but doesnt start. Can the stock alarm be causing my battery to run down? I have an Optima battery and I'm pretty sure it's lifespan hasn't exceeded. Anyone have any clues? Could it be the starter?

The optima battery is one of those mini batteries right? If so, it's quite often that these batteries drain down if not driven for a couple of days. I guess that's why the car came with a normal size battery from the factory. I guess there is a trade off for everything in life.

Those optima spiral cell batteries go out all the time. I had one last a week, you just trade it in and get a new one. Put a volt meter on it and see if it is draining.
|
this battery is the just about the same size as any other battery, its not a minituration. do i have to go to the place where it was purchased to exchange it?
|
That is what i did. I guess it just depends on where you bought it. They can also tell you if it is bad.
|
okay, thanks. it was in ther when i got the car so i guess i'll just try to find out where he got it.
