VR6Nat 9 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hey guys,the other day my battery ran flat (major cleaning session with music playing - oooops) and it wouldn't start, gave him a jump and all was well, i then did a 45 min drive thinkin he'd be nicely charged but then he wouldnt start the next day, and i have to keep jumpin him.Is this cuz the battery might be old and just cant recover.... or do you think my alternator might be screwed???
