eNSURE YOUR BATTERY IS / HAS TAKEN A CHARGE IN THE `DAY TIME`. DISCONNECT THE POSITIVE POST OF YOUR BATTERY AND LEAVE DISCONNECTED OVERNIGHT. IN MORNING RECONNECT AND TRY TO START. (1)IF VEHICLE STARTS CONFIRMS BATTERY IS OK. IF VEHICLE NO START (2)POINTS AT A BATTERY DEFECT FAULT.cONDITION (1) NEEDS TRACING TO A SLOW DISCHARGE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM - SEE ELECTRICIAN ( LIKE ME )- E.G C# FOR BOOT LIGHT ON OR SIMILAR ( REMEMBER ON 12V SYSTEM ANYTHING MORE THAN 1/2 AMP DISCHARGE IS CONSIDERED TO BE A PROBLEm).(2) PEOPLE MAKE A MISTAKE IF YOU HAVE A FLAT BATTERY JUST SLAVING (JUMP STARTING) AND DRIVING WILL NOT IN MOST CASES BE ENOUGH UNLESS YOU R GONNA `HAMMER` 100 MILES UP THE MOTORWAY OR SIMILAR. iF A BATTERY BECOMES FLATTER THAN FLAT, IT WILL NEED TO BE RECHARGED FOM AN EXTERNAL BATTERY CHARGING SOURCE TO BECOME ` RELIABLE ` AGAIN. IT IS A PROVEN FACT THAT A FAILING IN THE MOTOR CAR (CONVENTIONAL) CHARGING SYSTEM IS A BATTERY WILL ONLY RECOUP VIA VEH ALTERNATOR TO 75% OF IT`S ORIGINAL CHARGE. (SEE KEYWORD - BATTERY MANAGEMENt) aLSO A TOTALLY FLAT BATTERY WILL TAKE A WHILE TO `COME ALIVE` AGAIN WHEN PLUGGED IN DUE TO INPUT RESISTANCE.(SORRY A BOUT THE WAFFLE - JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT!- IT`LL SAVE YOU MONEy!)
