I tried to jump start it again and it didn't last long. I wiped off the battery acid around one of the battery posts. I haven't jump started it but do you guys think I'll need a new battery? --- #pipebomb_phil http://i.imgur.com/atWQoAs.gif <cite>pipebomb_phil posted [p:890991591] in Car batter...

There is also the chance your alternator is broken and incapable of charging the battery. --- I'm either failing at a silly joke or trying to help. http://i.imgur.com/m8f7VYf.jpg http://i.imgur.com/0Lp7Agd.jpg http://i.imgur.com/47emEDA.jpg <cite>SunWuKung420 posted [p:890991815] in Car batter...

They'll test it for you. --- "We're not even close" - Romans building Rome at the end of Day 1 <cite>Smarkil posted [p:890992106] in Car batter...
