Are you sure I can't just use booster cables?

takahashi

..... dunno. I guess slowly charging the battery is better. I was told if you have a non-spillable battery went flat - it is pretty hard to charge it back up.

What do you mean by a non-spillable battery. Is that what the factory battery is?

takahashi

Non spillable battery are gel batteries... they are more expensive. So I think you don't have that in your car stock :D

Don't you just wish you had taken me up on my offer now Matt!!

matt13b

I do. Also wish I had just started it occasionly and not been so lazy. I have taken it for granted that it will just always start. I have often left it for 2 months but 4 months turns out to be stretching the friendship!

I made a similar one!

Ok, I boosted the battery and it worked until I turned the car off at the servo and wouldn't start again(Packed servo with everyone thinking "another rotary gone to god", just what I need). So I got a new battery and problem solved. Drove it for the first time since the 08 RX8 Nat's. Only 2 small problems now- 1- There is a creaking from one of my shocks. I am hoping it is just stiff from not driving for a while and will sort itself out? 2- The traction control light is permanently switched off!? The switch won't change it and the even turning car on and off it stays off.
