This^^
the oem baterry was working just fine before me trying to jump off my DD
It may be just a coincidence that it went bad at the same time you tried to jump it. Best is to have them tested like everyone is saying.


Here is an example of coincidence.

Friend of my dads had a nice lawn mower, one day he hit a rock.
It stopped working.
He gave it to my dad for free.
It had ran out of gas when he hit that rock.
we put gas in it, worked like a charm.

Seems you have no field voltage to the alternator.

Clutch or major work done lately?
