Changing the battery is the easiest thing you can do other than putting gas in

Unless you have something like a BMW that requires the battery to be registered.

put some jumper cables on it and leave them until it will jump...drive to the wal marks and get them to replace your battery.

I don't change my own battery

I jump the car and drive it somewhere to buy one and they put it in.

You need to get a permit from DEQ as well as wear hazmat gear if you are going to perform this dangerous operation. Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

Just hook up 200 AA batteries to the terminals, that should last you another 5 years

Changing a car battery is the easiest DIY car fix. Don't be intimidated by it.

Get the alternator checked if you can too. Although I don't know if they can test it while on the car.


This. This is important.

You may want to check the battery posts first to see if they are corroded.

So I borrowed a friends car and went to make sure mine had not been towed and of course the damn thing started. It was slow to start but it did crank. Would that be a sign of something besides a battery issue? Seems a dead battery that would not jump last night would not suddenly work 12 hours later. I am about to get someone to drive me over there, hope it starts again and take it to the dealership. If it isn't the battery it may be something that is under warranty, my car is only 2 years old.
