So for starters my battery is a little less than 2 years old (Interstate Mega Tron Plus), and my alternator is less than a year old.
Today I left the headlights and fog/driving lights on while my car was turned off for, I shit you not, 6-7 minutes.
I came out and all I got was a click. The battery (including the old one) always seems to get whitish-blue corrosion on the Positive (+) terminal. I clean the top of the battery off with some baking soda and water from time to time.
None of this seems right, but I'm not sure what direction to go. I haven't tested the battery, or the specific gravity/electrolyte, and I'm not sure how much power the fog lights draw.
What should I check out first?
