must be taking in extra air some where. Check for vacum leaks.
unless your car already had a problem your just going to waste a lot of gas and its battery will die.
Most new batteries should come charged, unless the new battery is actually one that has been sitting on the shelf for a quite a while. If you're having problems starting, you might have a problem with the starter itself. Good Luck!!!
Sulfation can happen when battery is not fully charged and remains discharged
12v battery every car battery is the same unless you get a 16volt, unless your running a ton of electronics equipment i would stick with the 12
An alternator is the part of an automobile that generates the power to run the radio, headlights, speakers, and air conditioning as well as any other electronic component in the car while the engine is running. This is different from when the engine is not running. When the engine is not running, the 12 Volt car battery operates these electronics. Unfortunately, every battery will die eventually, so the alternator also recharges the battery while the engine is running. This is a slow process, though. But unless the battery is charged, the engine usually can't ever be started.
Yes. A fully charge battery will read 12.6 volts with engine not running. A 75% charged battery will read 12.4 volts. At 50% charge, it will read 12.2 volts. At a 25% charge it will read 12 volts, but that will not be enough to even start the engine in most cases and unless the alternator is bad the battery is defective. With the engine running you should read 13.5 to 15.5 volts at the battery. Any less and the alternator is defective.
Are your battery cable connections clean and tight ?
Unless the charger is clever enough to realize that something is wrong(some of them are) then the battery will be damaged.
bad battery, and bad alternator not keeping it charged - also bad connections to the battery or loose wire connections on the alternator.
The battery is weak and should be replaced, with a charged one or new one.
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
If you can jump start the car then the battery is not fine. Remove the battery cables and thoroughly clean them. If it still will not start check the voltage at the battery with the engine off. You should get 12.6 volts if the battery is fully charged. 12.4 it is 75%, 12.2 it is 50%, and 12.0 it is 25% charged. I would bet your battery is defective.
