[QUOTE="Duane Foster, post: 1017119, member: 70985"] What Yardsale said about the battery charge/test. Even if the battery is properly charged, it can still test good with the quickie test most places do, but in fact be bad. I sold batteries for 9 years and know what to look for. A few years ago I had a battery I was absolutely sure was bad. Took it to Walmart under warranty. The guy did the quick test and said it was good. I asked him to run the longer test where the battery is put under load a few times. Thought I was going to have to get violent with him to get him to do the longer test. He finally agreed. When I came back an hour later he said the battery was bad. Got a new one for no charge under warranty. Two or three times I've gone to start my ST and got nothing when I turned the key. No problems starting previously. Cleaned the terminals and it started right off. [/QUOTE]
