My sister and her bf moved in with us and are constantly using our car to jump start their own car (and I mean almost every day, sometimes more than once) and ever since then our lights have been flickering and now our car hesitates to start… I’m trying to figure out if this is because of the jumping or because of something else.

It’s been like a month and a bit of this.

Please any help is appreciated!

    If you drive your car every day, then an extra jump start or 2 per day shouldn’t be very hard on your battery. But if they’re using it multiple times in between times that you drive it, then yes it can draw it down to the point of damaging it, and then you’ll both need new batteries.
