----------------------------------------------------------------
After a battery has been replaced, is it possible to start the automobile 2-5 times if the cables were not properly tightned? Would there be sufficient amperage available to do so with the end result being a completely dead battery after starting the vehicle two or three times then driving very short distances (less than 5 miles) but then taking a longer trip (approximately 30 miles) only to have no battery life left?
