Hey so the vette has been sitting in the driveway since my tranny woes started in August. one day I decided to drop the trans out... And when I went to go start her up the guage was reading 8v and of course no juice to even crank over.. The day or two before I went out and started her just fine.
Anyways... Can the battery drop dead that quick? I would start her every 2 weeks or so since Aug... And I realize you really have to drive it to get the alt charging the battery... But I am just freaking out that when I dropped the trans and the motor tilted back.. That I could have done something to cause a major key off drain... Only thinking this because it happened so sudden.
Jump starts just fine and after a jump start it retains charge for a while... But after hour or so or next day drops back down to 8v...
Im guessing I just need to charge it back up again at work on the charger. (work for sears auto)
