Battery Problem
Battery Problem
I have a 2001 toyota corolla E11.
I think the battery on the car is dead because nearly every morning it needs to be jump started. but sometimes after leaving it sitting for 2 days it starts fine or will some time start fine in the mornings, other times it will start fine in the mornings and ill do a lot of running about during the day and the battery would have gotten more than enough charge. but the ill park it up and let it sit for a few hours and the battery will be dead flat and need a jump start.
Is it a problem with the battery or something else?

Do you have a multimeter or similar so you can test the voltage of the battery ? You might find somewhere that will test it for free for you (but then turn down their offer of a replacement battery and shop around for the best deal !).

Most people think that the one that locks onto the battery is the main nut to tighten but you need both done up tight to charge the battery.
I can not say that ive seen the toyota connection on you're car but it worth checking before spending your hard earned cash.
Some battery leads have two nuts (on the positive) one that goes over the battery, the other you also have to make sure is tight.
