Why won't it start?

(1/2) > >>

marky:
Battery has gone flat after the alternator packed up, I think I've sorted the alternator, but now it won't start. Tried my booster pack seaveral times, but it seems like it had no charge ( even though its been on charge for ages). Tried jump starting off of wifeys Td5, but there is even less life than off the booster pack! Engines turning over 2 or three times before giving up. I've took the connections off the battery, cleaned them up and replaced them but no change! Anyone got any ideas, I've got a couple of other things to do before a meetup on Sunday and I need to get it started or I can't go!

Ricky:
you dont say what vehicle your trying to start i assume its a 300

karlo:
Try charging the battery on the vehicle your trying to start, cos it may be past it.

marky:
Yeah, its a 300. I would have thought it would have started with the booster or jump start, even if the battery was really flat.
There was nothing wrong (as far as I know) with the battery before and its always started strongly.

karlo:
Sometimes they seem to get past the point of no return and won't start properly unless they have a certain level of charge even by jumpstart.
