Tag: battery-testing

I've had this car for about five years now and lately, the battery just keeps dying on me. It's really getting on my nerves because I need it for work every day. I can't afford a mechanic right now with all these bills piling up. I tried jumping it a couple of times, but it only lasts a day or two. I even cleaned the terminals, but that didn't seem to help much. What could be causing this, and is there a way I can check it myself without fancy tools? I just want it to run reliably again.
