won't start

[Edmond]

Went out this morning to start the car and it wouldn't start. No little battery light on the diagnostic panel and no SES light.

Jumped it with my Camry and fired up on the first try. Decided not to head out to the train station and risk getting stranded when I got back so I stayed at home today.

Went out about 1 hour later and car wouldn't start. Volt's were reading low in the mid 9's. I left the key in the on position and it climbed to the mid 10's.

What should I do? What is the problem?

I'm no automotive expert by any means so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like the bat. is gone, I would take it out and have it tested could have a bad cell, you may also want to check your alt. after you get it running, a volt meter should show 13+ volts...

Yes, after I jump give it a jump, it's running in the mid 13's. It was running fine last night around 7:30 and the little battery light didn't come on.

I just changed out the alternator a couple of months ago.

Take the bat. and have a load test done sounds like its bad...
