2003 Honda Accord battery

Batteries can die instantly from an internal short even when new. > More common than an internal short is what I believe is a cracked internal connection at one post or the other. The battery will suddenly seem dead or nearly dead, but a judicious whack (or two or three) on each post with a hammer will get it working again. The battery isn't fixed, just temporarily patched. It is fairly common in the first year or two of a battery's life. I taught the technique to my daughter, and she used it when I was out of state and her mother's car died in traffic and wouldn't even click. She scrounged a hammer out of the back of the car and did the trick. My wife was astounded! Mike |
