PT Crusier battery dies after 5 days of no use.

Well Ill chime in here and agree that 5 days is just really nothing I leave my truck go sometimes 2 months and it will fire right up my PT will sit easily for 2 weeks some times with no problem starting Id say it has to be something killing the battery maybe get a higher CCA battery or I guess if all else fails before id disconnect the battery how about one of them small trickle chargers you sit under the battery and plug in I have to think a bigger or higher CCA battery and they battery tender will not fix your problem but keep the car starting.---


you know it kinda sounds like maybe the battery's are just not getting a full charge might look into that

Hey there..Dashado here 05 Turbo vert... Yep same problem. I chnged Mopar batteries twice after having the draw on them checked at a local mechanic I know. I changed to a Yellow top Optima..never a problem since.

JFYI..Dave
good luck..I since relocated my battery to the trunk as I have shaved handles and I have a key for the trunk if i need a boost!!

Same here I think its just the dealer because I dont drive to work I take the train and my PT will sit for a whole week & sometimes the weekend then she starts right up no problems at all.
