it all started with a dead battery -but the car wont take a boost-it won't even try to crank over,i disconnected the battery and cleaned the terminals hoping that was why it would not boost.the headlights seem pretty bright when i am trying to start it-but it wont try to crank over at all.-any help would be great thanks!
i am pretty sure i have a bad cell in the battery-this has happened to several batteries in the past,the last time it happened the battery wouldnt take a boost but my mechanic took the battery out and used a trickle charger on it -put it back in the car and it started right up.i know the battery was dead because i hopped in the car to go to work the other night and found that my son had turned my lights on 10 hours before
when i had all the trouble with my sebring, my step dad talked to a chrysler mechanic that has been with chrysler for a long time, like 30+ years. He said that he has never seen one of the alternators in the sebring/venge go bad and if it is bad, you are looking at $400 or more for a new one. Best of luck.
You said you've replaced the battery a few times because of bad cells correct? Bad cells can be created by the alternator over-charging the battery. Something to look into, because if the alternator is over charging it can start frying more expensive electronics.

Mod List. Um WAY too many to fit on here. But the engine can handle about 800HP
