Bad Battery?

[bietau85]

So i pulled a stupid and let my battery stay dead for 6 months roughly maybe 7. That includes it probably freezing this winter. I bought it last year exactly. now the levels are a little off which i dunno why but when i charged it while doing my motor swap the charger ran green and said fully charged now after repetive starting i get barely a noise from the starter. So i guess my Question is can the battery light up all my gadgets and gizmos but have no power to even turn the starter a bit even after it was doing the other day? I still get spark on the starter relay so im hoping i didnt screw up the starter but i cant see how i only turned it maybe 7 times at most for 1 second at a time to test current. Oh and now the charger stays lit yellow saying its constantly charging which the battery is bubbling but i cant tell if each cell is bubbling or not.

Hi,

Sorry to say, I think your battery is toast. About all you can do is check the electrolyte levels, top off with distilled water, and try to charge it properly. If it won't take a charge then it's time for a new one.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Sorry to say, I think your battery is toast.

Frozen batteries don't recover well. All symptoms point to a dead cell, your battery's toast.

Even if it is a AGM style, this can happen.
