Yes Jay!
Modern batteries can do that. Did it in my 1994 Ford Probe way back then.
No warning signs. Was parked 50 miles from home,
went to start it an "dead as a doornail". After a jump, was able to drive
it home on the alternator though.
I sure wonder what Tym means by "dead as a doornail". I doubt it is what
all the other guys are suggesting...
