Battery Drained, recharged, won't start?
So in my newbie ignorance, I left the headlights of the X5 on and managed to drain the battery while I was at work one day. I recharged it and it was working well enough, although it seemed to sound a bit weak when turning over and starting.
The past two days, I took the motorcycle because it was just too nice out not to. I went to start it this morning and got some clicks, but no turning over. Used the GF's car for a jump and made it to work fine. Then I go to grab some lunch and again, no turning over. It seems to me that the battery doesn't have enough juice to get her started. How should I proceed in getting this thing working right? Could a low water level cause this? Thanks! |

1) Maybe bad. Have it checked out. 2) You have a bad alternator, so may not be charging the battery, causing the battery drain. If there's a problem with the charging system you should get a warning light. If the battery is bad, you won't get a warning light. |
Yeah I'm thinking the battery then since I'm not getting any kind of warning light.

It was the battery. Dropped in a new 94R and it fired right up. Thanks for the help! |
