Thats why. You need to let the car recharge a bit. You can't do stuff like that with the stock regular battery. It's not a damn optima you know LOL. you'll be fine.

Civic batteries are tiny. When I had my Suburban I could listen to music all day with it off since the battery was so big. If you have a charger, hook it up to the charger for a few hours, otherwise give it a jump and let it idle for 10-15 min and then drive it around the block a few times.

I tried giving it a jump and nothing. While I was doing this my dad called a relative whos a mechanic and he said my battery shorted out.

If you have an amp make sure that the amp powers off when you turn the car off. You're going to have to check this later of course.

mrhappypantz · 04-20-2008, 05:59 PM
