my mate jump started it yesterday.
Before i connected the 2nd black lead i found, it was reading 11.80 volts.Afder i connected it, it went down to 0.20volts
next to the battery is the siren for the alarm, i heard a small poppoing noise coming from it when i made the connection...maybe i sign everything will work when i jump start is tonight

If after you connected it, it dropped to 0.2 volts then its not holding a charge.
Its not all about the volts, its about the amps. If you keep having to get jump starts once u have everything going, you need to get a new battery.
