2002 jeep battery

They might have made an error in testing. Is it starting ok now?

Also might be a good idea to clean and tighten your battery cables. Loose or dirty connections can cause a battery not to charge properly which will lead to click click no start issues.

Yes starts fine and i cleaned and tightned battery terninals just 2 days ago

If gives you trouble again in the morning might want to start thinking about replacing it. Or atleast giving it a full charge on a battery charger. Sometimes this helps with older batteries. Older batteries don't due well on cold mornings.

Some batteries have an intermittent internal short. I would replace the battery if it were my Jeep.

Is it possibly the starter?

Headlights, gauges and etc worked fine but as soon as i would crank the car it just clicked thats it. Why did it start after a few trys?

I dont thinks its the battery at all . Whwn it was cranked over it didnt make the normal dead battery clicking . Just one click and that was it? I tried to start it about 5 times and it eventually started why would it eventually start if the battery was dead in that case it wouldnt start at all . I just started it and it started fine. Is it possible that where the car sat all night the starter was just really cold and there is no problem ?

How old is the battery and how cold is it where you are? You can have the starter tested.

Im not sure it was in it when i bought i 7 months ago ima say a few years old but it has always worked great iv started it no problens with it 6 degress out recently and when i tried to start it at about 7 this morning i belive it was in the lower teens maybe around 12 degrees

Its 15 degrees out now started it no problem

Maybr its thw alteenator because i went to test it agin and it said good but needs charged so i sgarted the car for a minute battery was 51% so i shut it off then went to retest it and it show 34% it discharged even after staeting it

If possible fully charge battery then try again. Honestly I thinking battery just old causing these early morning issues. IMO Cold starts are real hard on a battery.

Battery and alternator tested good i think its the old terminals i have i was told there the old lead ones which arent very good. Which would explain the inaccurate reading of 0 percent on battery but started great and the inconsistenty of the problem

Do the battery terminals that you just cut the old ones off and insert the into new one and bolt the wire down do these work good

Those are what I normally use. They work good for me. Bad terminals could cause your issue.

I apreciate your help . Have u ever had any problems with them ??

What causes terminals to go bad?

So i havnt replaced the terminals yet but im gonna . But i noticed the the battery voltage gauge flucuates ? And also can a bad battery connection cause a worse idle ? Because i sorta noticed as idling speed went up and down a tiny bit battery voltage would change ?
