Flat Car Battery – What to Do
A flat battery is a common reason for a car not starting, but similar symptoms can have another electrical or charging cause.
Typical signs
Dim or absent dashboard lights, rapid clicking or very slow cranking can occur with a low battery, but these signs are not a guaranteed diagnosis.
Before trying anything
Make sure the vehicle is safely parked and follow the vehicle manufacturer's instructions. Do not attempt work you are not confident doing, especially in an unsafe roadside position.
If the car still cannot be moved
Submit the location, destination and symptoms through Onagone so the recovery request can be assessed.
