Re: [FWDLK] Dead battery diagnosis? on more thing

[Scott H <kneedrager@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Does the car have an alarm? They have been known to go bad and draw too much
current.  Like Joe said, charge the battery and have it load tested if there
is no current draw I would bet its a bad battery.  Check the water level.
Sometmes a cell can go bad, short internally and kill the battery overnight.
