I tried taking a good car battery and jumping it without going through the
old battery, but it still turns over very slowly. It did start to melt the
plastic on my jumper cables, so I'm thinking thats not good. If I do have to
get a new battery, what kind do I really need? I don't really want to spend
$200 if I can help it.
