I was fortunate that my
battery which was about to end its life made it through the weekend down at the Dragon
I had no indications it was getting weak until Sunday morning with the cranking a little slow although the wing didn’t come up when I started the car
Then on Monday when I was leaving to come home
again it cranked a little slow but the wing didn’t come up as it usually does when the
battery has low voltage
I drove 11 hours home and parked it in the garage
Then I decided yesterday when I got home and it had been sitting in the garage for a couple of days I’ll check the
battery voltage which I did and it only read 10.75
Expecting when I got in it wouldn’t start I was correct I did get a click click click but no crank over no start
Headed out this morning picked up a brand new interstate
battery my favorite and put it in everything is good and there appears to be no drain on the new
battery so I suspect the old one just had a weak cell and it was done
When I bought the car from Carol last year she didn’t have a receipt and didn’t remember how old the battery was so therefore I didn’t either.
I can only assume it was time and it just died after the last big event this summer
