Question: My Audi TT has sat for past 7 months, battery now dead. Tried using portable battery to restart, turned key...


( Back )

Answer #1:

Just jump start it. It sounds like your jump box is too weak. Put the pos. on first then the neg. If you don't hook the jumper cables up wrong no electronics damage will occur.

Answer #2:

i would check out the fuse warning... you have to correct this before doing anything.. that clicking noise low battery solenoid does not have the proper voltage to function.

Answer #3:

Your battery is totally dead.
Remove the negative wire and put a slow charge on it for about three hours.
Hook up your battery and it will be fine.

Answer #4:

I would just get a jump start. Almost any neighbor or anybody in the parking lot will probably be glad to help. You should have a set of jumper cables in the trunk for occasions such as this, but they may have some. Your starter battery probably was simply not powerful enough to overcome the drain of the dead battery absorbing much of the current trying to recharge as you were trying to restart the car.

Just remember, RED CABLE ENDS TO POSITIVE ON BOTH BATTERIES, AND YOU TELL THE OTHER PERSON AND LOOK TO BE SURE. The positive (+) and negative (-) signs are usually formed in the rubber at the battery terminals, and the positive terminal usually has a lot of red rubber or cable around it.

Since your battery is so dead, it will be more effective if you leave the jumper cables connected for about five minutes or ten, while the driver of the good car revs the engine a little to produce some current (it produces very little when it's just idling), if the other driver has time, and this will charge your battery a little so it can HELP you start the car instead of HINDERING you because it is so dead that it absorbs much of the starting current. THEN try to start your car.

Best regards,
Mike
