I can't believe my battery is shot! I drove the Challenger into the garage only 5 days ago. Since I was disconnecting electrical connectors, I decided to disconnect the battery to be safe. Instead of disconnecting the positive post AT THE BATTERY, I disconnected the positive post under the hood at the location where you can hook up jumper cables. I figured the power came from the battery forward to that post where it then goes into the fuse box. Disconnect the cable, and it should kill power to the fuse box, or so I thought.
I went to test the LEDs today, and no power in the battery. That can't be right, I though. Took a voltmeter to the battery posts, I got absolutely NOTHING. Not even 1 volt. I just threw it on a charger at 10 amps, will leave it there for 1-2 hours, then trickle charge it over night. I really don't think it's gonna hold a charge.
Bet that cost a good $200-$300 to replace. Why did my battery die in only 4 days? Nothing was turned on! I wonder if the warranty would cover it??
Learn from my mistake guys...
