Re: does not start after a few days in the garage! 700 89

Franz -

Try letting it sit a normal amount of time with the negative battery cable disconnected. Either something is draining off charge or the battery itself is kaput.

Old batteries have some of the stuff that attaches to the plates get loose and fall to the bottom of the cell where it shorts out the plates which at least lowers available current and usually kills the battery eventually.

Good Luck,

Bob
