Suspect defective battery - battery needs to be fully charged - specific gravity checked - load tested - specific gravity checked again ... No parts store employee is going to know anything about how proper TESTING a battery is performed - highly recommend having local auto repair facility *mechanic* do these test. â–ªï¸https://repairpal.com/repair-shopsâ–ªï¸
Open circuit voltage on a 12 volt battery can easily read above 12 volts when testing with a volt meter - but actually have only 40% of its capacity .. That ain’t going to crank an engine - especially in COLD temperatures!
