Default Re: Do these things run on 9V batteries?

Remind me again please. What year is your PT? Did you buy it new? What mileage do you have on it? Did you put the battery that's in your PT in yourself?

Before you go bashing the PT, a little something you should know. The battery output, charging capacity, and life has nothing whatsoever to do with the PT itself. Short trips most of the time and then sitting for awhile will kill it (happened on my PT). Certain battery types (Sears Die Hard comes to mind) only last about a year no matter what the warranty has on it. Sure they'll give you a new pro-rated battery but who wants to have one that is dead every year (happened with my Corvette).

If the answer to the above questions is that it's a new PT off the showroom and less than 3 years old, then you have a gripe. If it was bought used and you've depended on what battery another person put in until now, you can't blame the car.
