if you short a batt, the sparks would make you stop shorting it. test the battery or install it correctly. if every thing works your lucky no damage happend. lol
I doubt this answer is accurate... please check comments for my view on this subject
depends on a lot of things........is your battery shorted out or is it just dead?
Overcharge, often due to a shorted cell.
Cause it is shorted out ,replace it.
If the battery is defective there's no way to fix the battery must just replace the battery.
No, not always, but in most cases yes. If the battery has a cell that is shorted out it may not jump start.
if i sccidently shorted the battery car wont start but cranks whats wrong ??
Don't fix it...replace it.
The car light? YES! Leaving your car light on WILL make your battery run out. Things like leaving your car door open if the light is on because it is open will cause the lgiht to Mae your car battery run out. There is a big difference between shorted out a car battery and running the battery down. Lighting in itself won't short a battery out but will run it down.
Usually, overcharge, sometimes overdischarge. Check the alternator - the regulator is probably shorted.
A battery cannot be drained by a shorted diode when the ignition key is off.
get a new light
