What might cause a Dodge Neon battery to die?

1. Battery age: The average lifespan of a car battery is 3 to 5 years. If your Neon's battery is older than this, it may be time for a replacement.

2. Extreme weather conditions: Hot or cold weather can put a strain on your battery and shorten its lifespan.

3. Faulty alternator: The alternator is responsible for charging the battery. If the alternator is not working properly, the battery will not be able to charge and will eventually die.

4. Parasitic drain: A parasitic drain is a small amount of electricity that is being drawn from the battery even when the car is turned off. This can be caused by a faulty light, a bad switch, or another electrical problem.

5. Damaged battery terminals: The battery terminals are the connections between the battery and the electrical system. If the terminals are corroded or damaged, the battery will not be able to receive the power it needs to start the car.

6. Engine problems: Certain engine problems, such as a faulty starter or a bad fuel injector, can also cause the battery to die.
