Best Answer

Bad battery, bad alternator/generator or corrosion on battery post/cables.

If the battery is on it's last legs then the battery may not have enough juice to start the vehicle. Either the plates "wear out" or a cell or two may have shorted out and isn't giving you the amount of amperage needed.

Also have the alternator checked to make sure it is putting out enough juice to recharge the battery in between starts. The battery may be good but the alt isn't giving the battery enough charge in between usage.

95% of what battery's are needed for is to start the vehicle. The more corrosion on the battery cable connectors the less amperage there is to start the car. You may have headlights and other lights but it takes a huge amount of amps to actually start a motor.

Make sure the battery cable contacts AND battery posts are nice and bright looking and try starting it again.

Car is slow to crank over?

A slow crank on start up is typically a sign of a weak or bad battery. Have your battery tested at a local auto parts store and replaced it if it is determined to be bad. Cold weather can also cause an engine to crank slowly. If the engine consistently starts when cold, even if it cranks slowly, you should be fine, however, you may want to eventually get a battery with more cold cranking amps (CCA).
