Hi,
So I have a 1200w sub in the back, some slightly higher w lights and some interior lights, all hooked into a direct line off my battery.
Now I looked up how to check battery level (after I'd charged it overnight) and i was around the 85% mark. So I decided to test my problem then as I knew the battery was charged to a good level.
I played the speakers (v loud) for about 5 minutes, then switched it all off, checked the battery again with voltmeter, 83% ish. However the car will not start after doing this. This engine wont even tick over the dials just click up and down and the car makes an unhealthy fast clicking.
Is this a problem with how many amps my battery puts out? There have been occasions where leaving it a good while between running the speakers and starting the car has allowed it to start.
Do I need a new battery? Have I done something wrong?
Cheers, let me know if you need more info!!
