Hi all, I have a bit of an issue with my 2012 iMiev... I last drove it a month ago, and the battery was about half full. This morning I found out that the car is completely dark, dead battery, can't even open the doors with the central lock. I plugged it in (110V only) but nothing's happening, it's been over 3 hours. The green Ready light flashes on the charger, but it's not charging, no humming, no red indicator on the dash.
What happens when batteries run totally flat? How do I proceed? Any suggestions welcome... Thank you!
 
Dead 12 volt battery. Plugging the car in won’t fix it. The small battery under the hood needs a charge, and if the car powers up after that, you’ll need a new 12 volt battery.
 
Thank you JoeS and PV1, that was it!
A pretty expensive 12V battery but nothing compared to my worst fear.
Thanks!

Buyer’S Guide For Choosing The Best Vacuum Cleaner For A Carpet Covered Floor

In terms of vacuum cleaners for carpeted floors, you must think further than those sources of info to pick up the best vacuum cleaner. Responding to the following questions will be helpful for your choice.

1. What types of the vacuum cleaner work well on a carpet?

Regarding vacuum cleaners for the carpet, you can choose among these types: upright vacuum cleaners, canister vacuum cleaners, cordless stick vacuum cleaners, handheld vacuum cleaners, and even robotic vacuum cleaners. A good vacuum cleaner for deep cleaning has the suction power to be able to clean up the most stubborn of messes. Upright vacuum cleaners and canisters are the ideal choices to clean deep pile carpets. Whether you decide to pick up an upright vacuum or canister one, a vacuum cleaner with a bag model or without, you also should consider other features related to convenience.

Take as an example, when you vacuum, you must move whole units of the motor, the dust bin, and the head of an upright vacuum cleaner across your floor. The canister vacuum cleaner follows you in a separate unit. So, if your house has two stories and more with a lot of stairs, using canister vacuums is better because they can be easier to move than upright vacuums. The other types of vacuum cleaners are suitable for lighter tasks due to their limited suction power and working time.
