Friends: 0 | It's Acura. I left it for over one month without driving. while last night was sub zero but today the temperature is 3 or 4 C. when I tried to drive it, it had no response. I realized the battery was dead! I tried to recharge it with a car recharger. A strange clicking sound was heard as soon as the recharger was connected. I double checked everything and tried again. The same thing happened. Then I stopped. Anyone has any idea of what the problem is? frozen battery? any particular problem with the car? Thanks. |

Friends: 5 | 1. how many amps is the charger? My charger has 3 setting. 5, 10, and 50 amps. 5 isn't enough with a dead system. 10 seems to work when left sitting for a couple mins. It sounds like relays are trying to switch, but there's not enough power. (that's what mine sounds like anyways) |
