Dead Car Battery, What to do?

Posted at: 2015-01-07 
You would be able to drive it back. But you should check the status of the battery health, check the battery window on the battery itself, it will be a fair indicator of the health of the battery.

Green is usually what you want to see. I don't know if it applies to your brand of battery, but green is good, yellow means semi discharged but acid is good, red is fully discharged but acid level is good, clear means acid level is bad and you need to replace the battery.

The indicator is for one cell only but it should give you a good idea.

You can drive an hour but if you turn your car off it might not start again depending how long Ur lights were on. You will have to see when u get home and if you cant youll need new battery. Ur alternator will charge ur battery if . It just needs charge. Either way youll make it home your car wont shut off

If you drive it for an hour after you jump start it, that should be plenty of time to recharge your dead battery.

My lights were only on for maybe six hours :/

Okay so I had to drive an hour to get to my job today. And when I started my car later on today it woul not start then I realized I had left my lights on.. When I get someone to jump me off, will I be able to drive the hour long trip home? An will I be able to keep starting it after I turn off the engine? I know it's not my alternator.
