I installed a smaller battery I picked up from Walmart on my SVT Contour recently. I picked it because it's smaller and left room for the cold air intake I'm running. It's been great up until I left the light on inside the car one night. I tried to start it last night and found out about the dead battery. I put my charger on it and my charger won't charge the battery because the battery is at .046V. My charger doesn't even think it's hooked up to a battery so it won't charge it. The charger is a spendy Craftsman 2/12/40Amp charger with 120Amp start. So I hook up some jumper cables and get the voltage up a bit and then I hook my charger up and leave it for a bit. The battery gets up to about 67% and the car won't start. Stupid Walmart batteries. Is the battery toast? I suppose I'll just bring it back and get another one but that isn't very comforting to know that it will be dead after one full discharge.
