Hard to charge from a complete discharge though. Cant use a regular car charger or atleast mine wouldnt work. Had to take mine to autozone and let them charge it for me. After that happened twice i got rid of it. This was on a fullsize dodge by the way.

thanks man, and yeah it kind of sucks not being able to drive... but every mod i have up to now would have never happened if i did have my license because all that money would have gone towards gas.

but little update, today woke up to about 50 calls from my friend with the red cj telling me to get my *** to where he was asap his jeep was on fire. i didnt even ask questions, told my mom i was leaving and went to were he was. rolled up to him when i saw the smoke everywhere. His amc 20(yes he runs 35s on an amc 20) was smoking like crazy but the flame had gone out, followed him home and hosed it off and smoke started poring out, i took a closer look and figured out it was his drums, metal on metal. it was a close call, and glad i was able to drive out and help him by myself.
