Battery Replacement $247.05 - $377.49 Get a Quote

Hi there. The battery is beyond charge and needs replaced. After replacing the battery, you would need to check for a parasitic load on the vehicle to see why the battery lost power. Disconnect the negative battery cable and put it by the battery. Get a digital meter and check for a voltage from the negative battery cable and the negative battery post with the ignition key off. If there is a battery voltage present, then something in the car is on. Be sure to have all of the doors shut. Turn on everything in the car one thing at a time. When the battery voltage drops to 0 or near 0, then that component is causing the battery to drop in voltage. If you need further assistance with your battery going dead, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
