Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 2000 996, parked it in the garage for the winter. Forgot to hookup my tickle charger and the battery died. I was able to get in the trunk and hook up a trickle charger to charge the battery - which is now charged. But the car won't start now. When i turn the ignition i just hear a clicking sound, and the display keeps flickering. See below video. Hope someone can point me in the right direction - nothing what so ever wrong with the car when i parked it for winter. You Tube

POST 2Original post

Bat took a charge but is bad. Pull it anf take it to a parts store so they can load test it. But first pull the.terminals off the battery, clean them, resecure and try ro start.
