Well i would suggest connecting the battery...
There are two common reasons for this. The first is that your generator(alternator) is not charging properly. The second is that your battery is going bad and not holding charge. If it is driving okay once it is jump started then your generator is probabably good and the battery needs to be replaced. I am betting the battery is going bad bc of a bad cell in it. Replace it and I bet it will be fine. A battery can fail with no warning whatsoever. It is more common that one might think. Hope this helps. Good luck.
UM 3 is a battery size used in Japan, corresponding to the AA of the more common standard.
A very common problem is a glove box or trunk light that is not turning off due to a defective or mis-adjusted switch. Try temporarily removing these two lamps and see if your problem goes away.
Typically 6 cells at approximately 2 volts per cell. The cell voltage varies by the chemicals used to make the cell (lithium would be around 3v for instance) To charge a typical 12V battery it's common to use 13.4V to 13.8V http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead-acid_battery
lesson 2 on problem solving. what are common methods for establishing a benchmark?
I had the same problem. Try replace the cable/wires that lead from under the car to the positive and negative posts to the battery. This is a common problem for this car. Maybe defective wires were used when the cars were originally manufactured.
The most common reason is one of the cells in the battery is bad and the only thing to do is get a new battery
Flat Battery and lost keys
Three possible reasons. 1) The bulb is faulty 2) The battery is "flat" i.e. it has no more charge in it or 3) There is a break in the circuit, maybe a poor connection somewhere. Corrosion on battery contacts is a common problem which could cause this symptom.
You're describing a common problem. Many times a relay, such as the AC relay, will fail to turn off when the key is off. When that happens the device controlled by the relay, such as the AC clutch, will remain engaged and drain the battery.
Yes, it is charged all the time on the car by the alternator. Just hook the battery charger up and charge it. Just make sure to connect the cable correctly. Additional answer If the battery's flat and you want to charge it without removing it from the car (a common occurrence), just connect it to a charger.
Indicates a problem with the electrical charging system. Can be a bad battery, alternator, loose alternator drive belt, corroded battery connections, or ground connections. Normally this would indicate a problem with the alternator but not always. Most auto parts stores will check the system free of charge, if you buy the repair parts from them, which would only be appropriate.
The most common problem from what I can tell is battery failure. This car needs a much stronger battery than a normal car, and they are still working out the technical side of this.
The most common cause of automobile starting problems; is the battery needs to be charged. When the battery will not take a charge. It needs to be replaced.
You can "change" a torch battery. If you mean "charge", there are plenty of types of torch battery that can be charged. The common carbon-zinc battery, commonly used in torches in the past, is one of the few types left on the market that can't be charged.
The most common cause for your 1997 Honda Civic lights to dim is a bad alternator. The alternator is not charging the battery. The battery retains a small charge, but not enough charge to run the engine.
This light flashes due to general system faults. This light may flash if the voltage drops below 9v. The most common cause of this light flashing intermittently is an old or weak battery. Get the battery checked and re-charge or replace the battery if necessary. If the battery is OK then check the computer for codes because one or more of the electrical systems may have a problem.
