What is your question?
I replaced my Kia's battery 2 weeks ago. She ran like a champ. Tuesday I took my baby sister to school, went to lunch and when school ended the car wouldn't start. She tries to turn over and has a full tank of gas. What do I do? She has been in the lot for 3 days.

I have the same problem with my Kia Rio. Did you end up figuring it out?
Hi. Not knowing what other things have been replaced or repaired in the last year or 12,000 miles I would consider the battery cables and ends. Especially the negative cable clamp and cable. Why? Well I have a Kia Rio 5, 2011 and I just recently change the clamp part only of the cable and at first it worked well, but I am beggining to see lower rpms on stop traffic cituations and it almost shuts off especially when a/c is on or lights or both. I am not a mechanic but my intuitive reasoning points to the negative clamp I put in. Why? Because with so much electronics in the modern vehicles, I am guessing that the metal composition of the clam does not meet the specs of the vehicle I am using it on. This may be acting as a resistor in the operation of the electrical system of my vehicle. SOLUTION in my case: Replace batery cable clamp or eve clamp and cable with factory specic or equivalent specific used of replacement part. (Original & New may be the better remedy). e bay for cheaper if dealer price is not in your budget. Good luck. ( note: I am not a mechanic : )
Both seem fine.
