RE: Any other way
is the battery dead and yes. its the spit test!
Don't quote me on this but it goes like this
if ur spit is on the head and sizzles as soo as it hits its to hott, now if u spit on the head and it sits there for more than 5-10 sec its to cold, you should be able to spit on the engine and it should sit there for 2-3 seconds that means its good,
but i'm not sure, i can't find the link, i found it at!
