Here's the situation:
- Tried to start the Tiger after its been sitting for 2 months
- Starter didn't even engage
- Battery showed ~10V, so I put in on the charger
- Battery charged to the regulation 12.32V in about 10 mintues (Is this
suspicious?)
- Threw it back in the car & checked voltages at the battery & solenoid (I've
had problems with that before)
- Tried to start it again - again, nothing happened,
- Just from trying to start it, the battery had gone back down to ~10V
- Tried charging it again - left it over night, though I've no doubt my charger
had decided it was charged sooner than that
- Tried starting the car w/the same results: 12V before turning the key,
knocked down to 10V without even the starter engaging to show for my trouble -
past the solenoid, I was getting >1V
Are these the symptoms of a dead battery? (Never had one before, so I'm not
sure what I should be looking at to fix the situation.)
