Hi everyone,
I know that battery questions have been asked before but after reading most of the posts I still have a couple of questions. First, some background: I have owned my 2004 Crossfire for 1 1/2 years. It currently has 35,000 miles. The battery in the car was there when I purchased the car. I have no idea how old it is. I usually start the car every week or two. The car has always started with no battery issues and without using a battery tender. I started the car 1 week ago with no issues. The car is always in a garage where the temperature never goes below 50 degrees. I tried to start the car today. All dash lights came on, fuel pump was running, but the engine would not turn over. I measured the battery voltage and it was 11.55 volts. It went down to 11.15 volts when I try to start it. I put the battery on the charger. Now the questions: How long can a Crossfire sit without a battery tender and still start? Do you think my battery is bad? I know that this is a personal issue but what brand of battery do you long term Crossfire owners recommend. I will add information after the battery is fully charged and I try to start the car. Thanks in advance for any help.
