Either the battery is defective and has a dead cell or something is on which is pulling power from the battery every night.
No, a starter cannot cause a battery to fail to charge. It could cause the battery to discharge quickly.
the battery could have a dead cell, this could cause it to not charge. Have the battery tested to be sure.
Dead cell in battery, replace it.
No. The battery will be charged at a rate which is 2* the normal rate. This will cause the battery to overheat which might cause it to explode.
either it does not charge the battery enough or it will charge it too much which will quickly cause the electrolyte in the battery to evaporate
usually means the battery simply won't hold charge. and won't charge full stop! get a new one
Cause it is shorted out ,replace it.
Bad battery. Get a new one.
No, a fuse cannot cause a battery to not hold a charge. However a dead cell in the battery will cause it to run down overnight. Also there may be something on that is drawing power from the battery. Under-hood light, trunk light, dome light, glove box light, etc. Also a stuck relay will drain the battery.
I assume you mean how long to charge the battery. You should never let the alternator charge a dead battery if possible. The alternator is designed to keep the battery charged but not to charge a dead battery. You put a strain on the alternator and it can cause a diode to burn out. Drive home and then put a battery charger on the battery to fully charge it.
Dead Battery. Are you sure your battery can maintain or hold a charge?
eather the battery has a dead cell or if it is farly new and was dead for a period of time in the winter will kill the battery and cause it not to charge.... or it could be the altinator that is bad and not charging
