I believe my battery died but I'm having difficulty actually confirming that is the problem
When I tried jumping it from both a remote rechargeable battery and jumper cables off my MINI I get power flowing through and the starter turning, but not enough power to get it running. Doing it for a little period of time it starts to slow, like I am draining the battery
The truck has sat a few times during the winter, and once with the lights on. Several times I've come back to dead battery, but it always revived with the remote battery.
I forgot to check. I know it's not new, but I don;t think it is too old either (I've only had the truck since Sept)
I'm really at a loss. I would think a jump would solve the problem if it's a bad battery. And I don't want to replace the battery if its not that.
Any ideas?
Thx
