Okay my fit hasnt been having trouble starting.

lately ive been jumping it every 24 hrs when not using the car

its been 2days i havent used it and i cant even start it all not even jumping it

and no i didnt leave my lights on

i recently had this put on

spark plus
blitz controller
grounding kit
wr intake manifold

im running 1400 watts full sound system
1 farad cap and a kinetik 800 battery

im assuming its the starter cause ive been using my remote start on viper alarm lately.

Can someone help me?

 

can you describe the sound (if any) it makes when trying to turn over the motor?

 

it sounds like fast paced tuds or click noise.

i know it dosent sound like my battery is dead.

let me see if i can get a video clip...

 

if its a continuous click, battery is dead....replace it

 

how is my battery dead its a kinetik 800, its been in my car for about a year now.

i cant charge it or something.

its completely dead or what?

 

if your battery keeps draining on you after just a couple days. You probably have a parasitic draw somewhere or the battery is dead or about to be dead. If you're still clicking and have some lights still working, you probably got a little juice left in there. Stick that badboy on a slow charger for a few hours and see what happens.

Expensive batteries die too. Car batteries aren't meant to be drained and recharged all the time. I remember when the optima yellow tops first came out, they said it could be drained and charged numerous times. Well my optima died after a year of such abuse. But thats what warranties are for. optimas had a 2 year warranty, but looks like kinetiks only have a 1 year.

 

alright let me charge it for a while then. dosent stock batterys last along time. i thought having a kinetik will last for more then just a year.

so i can rule out the starter and alternator then.

so having a full system does taking a beating on batterys

what can i do to last my battery for more then just a year.

its weird cause i can listen to the music on the 1st click and have lights on, thats why i thought it wasnt my battery and it was something else.
