Keyless go + jumpstart the battery

Couldn't find any info on this so better ask first before i mess something up.


Not sure how but somehow i managed to drain my battery in two days. Measured it up today and it was reading 2,38V. Is it just to jumpstart the battery like on a normal car or should i just charge it up over the night?


If it's ok to jumpstart it could i use my 35amp battery in my miata or should i use something more powerful?


Sorry for the stupid questions but i'm a complete noob when it comes to electrical stuff of all kind and just dont want to mess something up.

If you have a battery charger use it for about and hour and you will likely have enough charge to start the car. Then take the car for a nice long drive to finish the charge.

Check your trunk to see if its closed securely. Lots of folks have accidentally drained their batteries by it not being closed all the way and the interior light staying on.

Yup, replacing the interior with leds actually is a good investment. Looks nice and you leave them on like 4 days before the battery discharges
