Hey guys, I killed my Beretta and now it doesn't want to start. It ran fine all the way home from work. Went to the store & come home & it won't start. Hooked up the battery charger & the battery is down at 75%. Jumped it off another car & it cranked right up. Took it around the block & it was running rough. Got back home & it wouldn't start again. Added water to the battery cause it was low. It still won't crank. The dash battery light stays on while it's idling, but when you take off it goes out like it's trying to charge. Please help me get this thing going. It's all I have to get me back n forth to work. I can't loose my job it's the only support that I have. Please please tell me what I can do. Shawn

Hi
Need to put meter on batt if after charging there is not 12.45v or higher then batt toast. Also check voltage across batt terminals running 14.5 to 15.2 v if not alt faulty.
