It can wear down the battery and decrease over overall life of the battery. Just charging it until it it's fully powered can help to keep the battery life as high as possible. Make sure you do not overcharge the battery and lower it's lifespan per charge.

1998 Lexus 400 does not always start has new battery?

Make sure you have a good connection at both posts. Poor connection can cause intermittent problems. Even if it is a new, a battery can still be faulty. It might even hold a charge for a while then fail. To be sure have the battery tested - easily done at most service locations. If the battery is good, next likely problem is the alternator. If it does not recharge the battery enough while you drive the battery will probably not have enough charge the next time you try and start.


Can a car battery be bad if its still pushing 12 volts?

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.


Can you charge a dead car battery on a battery charger?

What would be the problem if a 1997 Chrysler Sebring convertible will not start does not crank?

If the engine will not even crank, then suspect a defective battery or starter. Start by removing both battery cables and cleaning the cable connections and battery posts. Reconnect them and see if it starts. If not put a battery charger on the battery and fully charge it. If it will not accept a charge is is defective. It the vehicle starts then you may have a defective alternator. If the battery is good and it still will not start, suspect a bad starter. You will have to remove it and have it tested.


Why won't my Jeep jump start?

Your Jeep probably won't jump start because the battery is not strong enough to hold a charge anymore. You will need to replace the battery. +++ You will need to replace the battery if it won't hold a charge, but given a suitable source vehicle it should still be possible to jump start (NB 'jump' electrically, not tow-start) any car even with a fully flat battery.
