Battery has shorted internally (bad) or one of the battery cable connections on the battery posts are loose or bad not making a proper connection...
Have battery tested (load test) and try cleaning and tightening post connections real good!

| Post subject: | Odd behaviour on ignition ... no start |
So I usually grind the living hell out of the starter in the winter time if I forget to plug the jeep in. Last time I managed to get it started on a sunny day the car ran for some time then just died(I didn't observe it die as I wasn't there). However when I went to start it again and turned the key to ignition it cut in and out as if a connection was loose to the battery. Now when I try to start it, I can put it in ignition then turn to start and it just blinks like the power goes away when I try to start it. Any ideas ? |

I had two batteries, one of them died in the winter. The battery genius wouldn't charge it anymore, this was the new one. Then I went back to using the old one I had before doing an alternator change ... I did grind it pretty good. I unfortunately don't have a bat tester but I can tell the leads are good and tight. Ill have to buy another battery and hope for the best. Any way to recondition or reuse the old bats ? with solar or something ? |

Take the "good" one out of the vehicle and bring it to any auto parts store. They all have battery testers and will test a battery for free, unless you live in Commiefornia. I'm sure they'll want $50 and your first born child. I think most stores take the old battery as a core if you buy a new one from them. I've been lucky and only ever had to buy 2 so I don't remember exactly. There's not much you can do with old batteries unless you want to disassemble and rebuild them which would cost more than a new one and is considered incredibly dangerous. Bring them along and have the parts store dispose of them while you're there. That's the responsible thing to do. |

Due to your description that your vehicle started, then later died, (probably due to low battery voltage), if a new, or charged battery again starts your rig, get your alternator tested as well. It sounds as if it's not performing sufficiently. |
