last monday i went to start my car and i find the battery was dead....

i checked if i left the parking lights on or left a door slightly ajar...but i'm pretty sure i didn't

so i jump start the car and she purred like a kitten

i leave it on for about 30 min and shut it off

2 days later i find that the car battery is dead again...so i jump start the car and drive it around

for about 45 minutes while i go around town doing errands...

so i was able to shut it off for a few minutes at a time and start it up again....then

i take her home and shut her off....

yesterday...i found that the battery has died again

can i do some kind of test or sumthin?



anyone know where can i get battery relocation kits?

You can bench test the battery at any local parts shop, and while you are at it have them bench test your alternator...

yea i had the same thing happen

also if it were your alt it wouldnt run for long and when you shut it off it wouldnt turn back on no matter how much time passed

Or you can disconnect the positive side of the battery, if the car stays running the alternator is goo, if it dies it isn't. My guess would be battery. Any of your local parts stores will have a battery tester, the manual tell you how to properly test the alternator, I think it should be something like 14.5 volts at the batter terminals when running.

ok coo....

a few people told me the same thing

sounds like the battery then...



what about the relocation kits?

Relocation kit. . . . .

Buy some 4 gauge cable. . . .save some $$$

100000000% its the battery...



RX7 pretty much runs 100% off the alternator when your driving, so if

it runs for any time longer then about 5 mins on its own then your

alternator is FINE.
