Well I guess I couldn't recharge my brother's battery anymore, but it was also a used battery. I have been known to bring batteries back to life by just recharging them, well, until they can't hold a charge anymore, then I just go and buy another used battery.
Thing was that I put my battery reader on it and it says, Good Battery. But then I can't start the car, now I am wondering if the starter needs changing.
So what I did was take the battery out of my 2001 Toyota Avalon XLS and put it into my brother's 2001 Hyundai Accent GL. Then to my surprise the car starts.
I guess my battery reader gave a bad reading when it said the battery was good. That happens sometimes.
So I put the bad battery in my car trunk and take a trip to the used battery place called, Joshua's Auto Parts, but most people go there to buy used batteries.
I bring in the old battery, cause you need the old battery to buy another used battery. I guess they do things to the bad battery you bring in and revive them. I seen people on Youtube take bad batteries and make them come alive again, that is why you have to bring in your bad battery or else you have to pay more without your bad battery.
I told the guy I need a battery, like this one and I show him my brother's bad battery. They gave me several options, I said, You mind if I use my battery reader on them?
The first one I tried, the battery reader said, Replace. Well, I don't want to buy that battery. I went to another used battery and and my battery reader said, Good Battery.
I said, This one right here, I'll buy this battery and here is my used battery. So the lady at the desk said, 55 dollars. So I pull out my money. I gave her 60 dollars and she gave me back 5 one dollar bills. Then she said, she would clean the terminals of the battery I just bought.
She had a battery charged drill with a wire brush and cleaned both positive and negative terminals. I thanked her for that and told her I really liked this store.
I really liked this store cause I could buy good used car batteries for 55 dollars. Or I could go to another parts place and spend up to and beyond 200 dollars for a brand new battery.
I used to buy brand new batteries, but now days I only buy used batteries, so long as my battery reader says, Good Battery at the reading.
So after I come home, I put the battery into my brother's car and it starts up, no problem, and I feel good about it.
Let's end with a scripture, as it is written, Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this the whole of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13.
