Can a car battery be too dead to jump start?
Need some advice from car mags. :confused:
Car sitting around for 6 months, finally put FS on CL.
Jumped and ran for about 10 minutes including testing the AC. Like an idiot I turned the car off to check something. It would not restart nor could it be jumped started again.:cussing:
So can the battery be so dead that it cannot be jumped? or did I fak something up.::cussing:
I'd swap batteries to test but a terminal is stripped and I'm hunting for my lockjaw pliers to take it off.:cussing:
Details: car= massive Ford Expedition; car with good battery=Honda minvan
When tried to re-jump clock reads 12:00, locks cycle on and off and then all goes dead. Weak cranking for a second followed by nothingness when starting.
Thanks.:cussing::cussing::cussing::cussing::cussin g:
