A month ago my car didn't start so i jump started it, in the same day i checked the battery fluid and it was
dry!!!![:0] I filled it up to the level and everything was fine till yesterday, the car would "hic-up" a little
when starting and this morning to, and in the afternoon it didn't start again, had to push it and it started
great! is it the battery, it's about 6 years old?![?]
WIth the engine runing i conected a voltmeter to the battery and read 14,05V so the alternator is ok wright?

Thanks and everyone keep cool...

Had the same issue with my car, no more cold cranking amps. Batteries have a specified amount of cold cranking amps,...it is done, and U Got a new one. Also make shure it is the proper battrery.
