Try starting the car. If it doesn't start, then you might have a low charge in your battery!

Turn the headlights on and then try to start the car

- if the lights dim and you can hear the starter motor solenoid "click" or the starter turns the engine slowly then your battery is more than likely At Fault.

-if the lights don't dim and you can't hear anything from the starter motor then it is likely to be a loose earth connection or a loose connection to the starter motor solenoid (the thin cable out of the two that connect to your starter motor)

How do you refurbish a 12 volt car battery?

Check the specific gravity of each of the cells in the battery. If one is low then put a rapid charge on the battery. If the cell comes back to normal then wait about 10 hours and check the specific gravity again. If the reading is low again you have a cell that is shorting out inside the battery case. Time to think about buying a new one.
