By inserting a battery in incorrectly there are diodes and other components that get fried
probably damaged the circuit board.

Testimonial: "thought that too but isn't there a safety feature that would send the unit into safe mod or something? and I had it in for like a sec or two"

Bill Boyd May 17, 2015

not everything has such an feature as the manufacturers rely on people fitting batteries to see the diagram and fit the batteries accordingly
take it to a repair shop and ask if it can be fixed.
to blow an electrical component has as long as it takes to touch the terminals.

3.4L Cold start problem--slow cranking/firing--below freezing, now it is around 0

May need a bigger battery if cranking speed is too slow. Thinner oil helps some (like mobil 1) might even consider an engine heater,they are pretty cheap and really work great,saves the engine also.The fuel line deicer is a wise move,especially with the new gasoline these days.

hello allen team it seems to me that either your alternator isnt working properly and you will notice the battery light on andn it wont charge battery or you have bought the wrong battery as far as cranking amps i just bought the battery for my 04 endeavor and it had to be a 750 cca meaning cold cranking amps try to make absolutly shure that you have the right one there for the battery puts out the right amperage thus able to start the vehicle bye turning the starter motor at the corect rpm

DEAR FRIEND, I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH YOUR PHONE, BECAUSE IF YOU CHARGE YOUR PHONE EVERY 2 -3 DAYS, THAT MEANS YOUR PHONE'S BATTERY IS WORKING VERY FINE.

I have 1998 Chevy Silverado with over 200,000 miles. One morning I started it up just fine, backed out of the drive way, and it just died. I turned the ignition to off, and turned it back on and parked it....

Check your battery terminals. They may be corroded or just loose. If you get it running again have the battery and charger tested at an Advance or Autozone.

Hope this helps.

Very slow 2nd hand peg perego gaucho

I have the same issue. Called their customer service and they said it was a defect in the charging system. They are sending a upgrade kit for free, but when it's installed you can't charge the battery using the rear port anymore. No big deal. I'll report back when the fix is complete. 5-7 days until it gets here.

Turns itself off every time I try to take a photo

I had a similar problem with my Cyber-shot S600. It just turned off every time I tried to take a photo. I bought a Sony recharger + batteries and it fixed the problem. Camera works fine and I'm impressed with the how long the batteries last between charges.

Is your canon powershot 540 not turning all of the sudden?

I had the same problem.I called Canon and thanks to their suggestion my camera now works.I was using the wrong type of batteries.The best ones to use are rec-chargeable or alkaline batteries specifically for digital devices.I bought the alkaline ones at Shoppers Drug Mart for $7 for two.Hope that works for you.
