Evo 8 suddenly dead, stuck parking lot

Evo 8



Drove to UPS, ran inside for 2 min. Came outside and car won’t start it’s fully 100% dead no power. Odessey power sport battery I don’t see any issues

What could possibly be the issue??

didn’t say battery is dead (if I did my b, stranded in the Florida sun lol)

whole car was dead, zero electrical whatsoever, car was off for less than 2 mins no electronics or lights left on

car is hooked up to jumper cables for 10 mins, I can get a few turn overs and lights come on for a sec but then die and car clicks a few times

sound like it needs a new batt. buy a voltmeter while youre at it. I had a old batt that actually drained charge from alt or booster

btw youre missing a nut on that fuse terminal. you sure nothing was connected there?

I noticed this right away as well. I'd make sure something isn't supposed to be there because I am pretty sure something is.
Short of that, battery seems cooked but really hard to say for sure.

probably no ACD
my sister jumpstarted her car one time then it wont send enough juice to the rest of the car. took me a while to figure it out. with a new battery i found out thats not the issue (although the old one is 4yo already). it turned out that the post clamp conductor broke when she jumpstarted the car. if thats case it can be jumpstarted if you clamp the booster after the fuse
