dead battery?

[SgtMarshal]

2001 Gtp, I think my battery is done for. the car has been sitting for 2 weeks. I tried to start it this morning and it wouldn't start, acted like the battery was dead. I used the other car to go to work, and now I'm home. I put the charger on it, it showed 100% so I tried to start it, and it wouldn't start again, put the charger back on and the battery charge showed 25%. temperature is 20ish degrees.

Try warming up the battery, bring it inside and set it next to the heater.

If it still won't hold a charge, then it's dead. If it does hold a charge, I would suggest getting either a battery heater, or a new battery.

if I could push it into the garage by myself I would, but that's not going to happen. we'll see if it will start after I let it charge again.

you can't just yank the battery out?...

If it's dead it's gonna need to come out regardless...

[SgtMarshal]

I didn't even think about taking it out, that would be easy, I'll go pull it out now

The battery tested good, must be the starter.

smack the starter with a hammer, see if that makes it work again.

That's how I diagnosed our last bad starter.... lucky enough to have remote start, climb under/ hit button/ wait 2 sec/ no start/ smack/ Bingo!

The starter smack is one of the best diagnostic tools ever. Lol

That and the carb bowl smack.

Works on unruly bishes, too...lol
