Battery Died - Twice
My battery dies on me two nights in a row. :confused: No lights were left on or anything. Voltage of battery down to between 3-5 volts before jump starting. No problems before. Temps did drop recently below freezing. My Subarus have never liked this and I can depend on at least one doing this. Suprised the SVX did it. Anyone else this happens to when the temps drop below freezing?

Make sure your alternator is working. Use a volt meter on the alternator or buy a volt meter that plugs into the cigarette lighter.
|
If your battery is going to go, it will be when the temps drop below freezing. :(
|
If that's the battery problem, that'll be the most simplest solution. :)
I assume no SVXi will be able to leave any lights on when the key is pulled from the ignition? (except the parking lights and hazard light) |
check the sun visor wires and make sure they are not causing a short and draining the battery

Also make sure that the alternator belt is not slipping. If is slipping also make sure there is tension on the belt, but I would just go ahead and change it out anyway just to make sure it is not the belt or the tension. It cost me $ 14.00 for a Good Year Poly-V Flextra #345k5 part number. Just yesterday I finally had to change out my battery and a blown fusible link in the fuse box that is located in the engine bay.

Me To
Yes I Have Had The Same Thing Happend To Me Before. I Just Got A New Battery And Ran The Car For About 30min A Day. Just Keep Start Up The Car Every Day. But If It Is Not The Battery It Might Be The Spark Plugs.also Look At Your Fushes And See If They Are Ok.

Kevin,
either the car just misses Chi ke, or the constant polishing he used to do, constantly, would somehow charge the battery through static electricity.;) |

I do not know if this has anything to do with the battery dying but the battery's CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) was 460. The CA (Cranking Amps) was 575.
I purchased a battery with a CCA of 800 and CA of 1000. Perhaps that should help things along in the colder temps. :D |

Myxalplyx, the battery you purchased is a serious monster! :eek: Dayum!!!! -Chike |
800CCA is probably the minimum I would use here.
