I was driving out to the country and three minutes after driving I noticed my battery sign started comming on. and i mean started becuase it fadded bright and then receded. it only came on when i floord the gas or aggressivly sped up. after about ten minutes of driving and starting my car twice, a lot of other lights started comming on, i had the srs and the anti lock breaks and the water pump an another i belive, but i cant remember. anyway i got'er home and then i decided its time to turn it off and it wo uldnt start after that. i got nothing for a start, no click no thing, i co uldnt hear anything electronic , o nly the throttle "box" humming. and i got a voltage of 7 volts. so i jumped it and it started right up. and i unhooked the cables and then the voltage started droping like .1 volts every second and the engine started to sound wonky. just in a way that you notice something aint right. so i sh ut it off and it wouldnt start again, same symptoms. ... So th ink i need a new battery ?
