Probably need a new alternator, or you battery cables or conectors could be bad If the battery is connected to your vehicle and it is not maintaining charge while the vehicle is running then it is more than likely your alternator that is out. If the battery does not have juice and is brand new then it is defective. I have also heard that if you place a car battery directly on concrete for a long period of time it will ruin. Always put a battery on a wood or a metal surface when storing.

What is killing the battery on a 97 Chevy Tahoe It is brand ne It will not crank in the mornings unless battery is charged?

Bad alternator? May have short, will still charge, but drains the battery when sitting. Just as a test, take one of the battery cables off at night and see if the battery stays charged. Might be bad battery even though new. Hood light that's not shuting off? Brake switch not shutting off? Have you checked the altermator to make sure it's charging 14 amps. May be weak and only charging enough to keep the truck running with nothing left to charge the battery. Out of ideas

What cell phone batteries hold the longest charge?

The battery brand itself doesn't matter. It depends on how much charge the battery can hold. A good way to improve battery life is to charge it only when your phone is down to the last bar . Don't charge it unnecessary.


Someone once said that if you charge your brand new cell or mobile phone before you turn it on or something that you will have better battery life in the future any truth in this?

You have to charge your brand new battery to FULL before using it. 24 Hours recommended. Doing this doesn't extend the battery life but if you do not charge it to full and start to use it the battery would have a shorter life span.

You've just replaced the battery and alternator in a 1998 Ford Escort. Do you need to let it sit for the battery to charge or is there more to it?

If you replaced the battery with a brand new one, then no. The battery comes from the store with a fuul charge. If it didn't come charged up, then you have bought a defective battery.
