My cell phone and iPod batteries die really quick when its cold out..but this is a car. I think you should have been driving it to keep the charge.

 

i would get it runnin agian and take it up to autozone or somewhere and get them to do a free check on your batt and the alternator

 

the cables could be corroded....2 ppl i kno had this problem...thot it was the alt and bat and was the cables....

 

The battery is 12V but it needs a minum of 13.5 volts to charge it. Anything less means it won't charge the battery.

BTW. Not trying to be a smart azz but if you don't know for sure how something works you shouldn't say anything that might misinform people.

 

+1, i dont think the alernator will do ya much good w/ the car off.

 

thats true but if it cut off while driving then it should have charged the batt back up, and since its free just get em both checked while ur at the parts store

 

Whoa, did I type off? Damn *edits post*

 

yea sounds like the alternator

 

This happened in my 99. basically my battery blew up on me...and it was surging alot when i was driving down the road then just gave out...from what I experienced, Our stangs need a constant battery power with the alternator to keep the car running, odd but true in my experience.

 

ok, the battery is dead, so we have to change it. when we checked it, it showed 14v, but when we switched it to "test" the car ould shut off.
