[QUOTE="seth350, post: 2754528, member: 559168"] Get a DMM and then turn your highbeams on for 30 seconds to get the surface charge off the battery. Dont start your car. After 30 seconds turn the lights off and check the voltage, if its not at least 12.5V be looking for a new battery. Also, check the water in the battery (assuming its not a dry cell like an Optima) and make sure its full. If not pour some in and hook it up to a battery charger and set it to 2amps or "Trickle Charge" on some chargers. That will give it a good charge. [/QUOTE]
