Yesterday I got in the Midget, turned the key on and the battery was 100% dead. Wouldn't even power the elec fuel pump which is the first thing I always listen for. It's a Duralast Gold battery with the 3yr free replacement from Auto Zone, that I've only had about 2 1/2 years, so getting a free replacement is no problem. And they did check it indeed confirming it was dead, not charging.
My concern is this.... Can batteries just randomly go bad like this, or was it a short that killed it? How can I check for a short? What should be the resistance between the battery terminals (unhooked) with the key off? Thanks for any answers! - Nardis
