Been out of town for a week. Hasn't been driven since I left 9 days ago.

No start, no crank. Not even that "tick tick" sound from a bad/weak battery.

What I have checked, battery voltage and fuel.

Battery voltage is weak. It's at 11.78 volts. Battery is dated December 2015.

Fuel: I hear it prime at the fuel rails, but not as loud as I remember. Can't find my fuel pressure gauge, so I checked to see if any would come out of the fuel schrader valve. It shot up pretty hard.

Should I just charge up the battery and go from there?

Yes. When the battery is that low there is no way it will even turn over. Once the battery is charged have it load tested, maybe time for a new one.

 

Weird how it lost charge over the time I was gone. Will do. And thanks for the helps as always man!

 

Got it charged, load test deemed the battery good. Wonder what made it lose charge. Started the car fine. Let the temp get up to operating, turned lights and AC on. Voltage coming out of the battery is 13.8 volts. Sound good?

 

Voltage with engine running should be about 14.25.
