Re: Best Battery for 72 Cheyenne Super

OT, anyone notice if one of these newer batteries are drained it means they're toast or perhaps just sometimes? I don't remember that being an issue before, maybe it has something to do with newer cars Hmm. Happened once in my Subaru owned, 5 years, and twice in my Tundra, owned 4 years. The batteries wouldn't even take a charge.

My girlfriend owns a newer Honda. The battery went dead after sitting many months. At first my charger read an error, not accounted for by instructions. But then it took a full charge. Started, great, ran it for a bit. My girlfriend tried it a few days later however, it won't start, not enough juice. Perhaps there's a short or somethin', she says nothing left on. IMO it just needs a new battery.
