keep killing batteries help!!!

keep killing batteries. put a battery in and a few days later it's dead. did the battery relocation and it's connected to the starter and then to the fuse box, and a wire to the alt.

Check your ground. and the grounds on the block. you should add some grounds to the block, and make sure the ground on the batt in the trunk is attached to the frame. also, did it kill batteries before? check your voltage when the car is running, should be 13.0 to 14.5 at the battery.

For the grounds to the block, you can use battery cable, regular wire, etc. just make sure you secure them under a bolt on the block (not the motor mounts) and there is no paint under them. same for the battery to frame, but only use a bbattery cable here.

yeah i have the ground to block on the side of the timing cover. in the trunk it is connected to the bolts that hold the trunk rods. plus it's a taylor kit. on my other stang (had the same kit just transfered it) it had no problems but i had the cable ran straight to the fuse box instead of to the starter

Is the battery dieing after a couple of days of not starting it?
Or is the car being driven everyday and the battery is still dieing?

 

[tommybunz]

sitting for days and then not starting! actually both even if i drive it it still does the same thing

i would run it like it's suppposed to be factory, which is to the bolt on the fuse box, instead of the starter, and see what that does.
