    Default Car Battery

    So my car battery died last night. Gave me a big **** you. So I did the whole jump start charge up turn off turn on drive process last night. So I locked the car last night and went to sleep. Woke up this morning. Centeral locking worked fine stuck the key in turn on the radio. All good. Went to start the car. Poof. Nothing. I'm assuming the batteries fried but I don't wana spend $150 to find out it's something else. Any ideas?

    Put multimeter on battery and see how many volts it has. Less than 10-11v and its buggered. Alternatively jump start it again and drive to any auto-sparky or battery joint and they will test the alternator and battery for you and tell you whats stuffed, sparky may or may not charge, battery joints do it for free.
