Cody 82 ZXT Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 Just when I thought I'd turn over my newly rebuilt engine I have a dead battery. Granted it's been sitting for 6 months but, I put it on the trickle charger the other day and it should to have 12.5v on it after I took it off. Tonight it only had 7.4v. Guess it won't hold a charge. This sucks!!!!!!!!!!!! Not only am I going to have to wait till tommarow but, now I'm going to have to buy a new battery. My engine budget is used up and now I'm going to have to find the money from somewhere else. Oh well, I guess I'll live but, it really is annoying when Murphy's Law kicks you in the butt at every turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nezzie76 Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Do you have any other cars with batteries? Maybe you can steal one long enough to drive the car around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMS Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Hey Cody! You're in Arlington, I'm in Cedar Hill. Go wait outside with a pair of jumper cables. I'll be there in a minute. Seriously, if you need anything like that, just give me a holler. I'll be happy to help any way I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 If you haven't got one yet, Costco has Optima red tops for $99. Everyone I know who has run the Optimas has been extremely happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 Cody - you have got to get that car back on the road. I've been waiting 6 months to see it. Let me know if you're a bit short and I'll drive you to the auto store and make up the difference. It's absolutely a sin to keep that beauty parked. Seriously - let me know if I can help.
