Dead battery with no warning

[MikeMcMo]

--Don't over think this! Jump start your car, drive to your local auto store or shop and have them test the battery and charging system. Get back on the road!

Yes, dghii, hope to that tomorrow. BUT- won't the battery read as dead no matter what, since it won't do more than click, and sometimes does less? Thanks for responding. I will follow up with whatever happens...

Any decent auto parts store can come out and check your alternator while your car is running. Once that is checked, they can pull your battery and load test it. You will then have the cuprite (alternator or battery) isolated.

There is always a chance you simply have a bad connection at your battery....the shop will find that as well.
