Hi everyone,
Needs some advice please, I'll try to be "brief" and explain:
My 993's battery needs to be changed as I haven't driven the car daily for the last six months as I used to do; my garage says it's pretty low in terms of charge and I was supposed to bringh it in this week but they had a last minute issue.
I did purchase several months ago a "DBPOWER 600A Peak 18000mAh Portable Car Jump Starter Battery Booster" which didn't seem to work very well.
Bottom line, it was faulty and they sent me another one which manage to start my car very smoothly yesterday (but not driving it afterwards) and again today (clearly the battery isn't holding well...).
I drove the car for 20', then went shopping and when I came back to the parking, the car wouldn't start... I used the device again (still charged at 97%) but this time no luck... Tried again, nothing...
Went to get my other car to jump start that way, same result: nada....
I did see/hear sparks on the battery's negative terminal thinking that juice was going through but no success.
Lights in the car are on but nothing happening at ignition.
I just want to get my car to the garage on Monday and need to start it to get it there...
Is there anything I should do/try differently to manage to start it?! Could it help to clean the terminals?
Thank you very much for your advice!
