2000 dodge Dakota starting problems..?

"Ok I have a 2000 dodge Dakota and the battery died a few days back and I got it recharged but now it's struggling to start and sometimes when it does start it stalls right after but yesterday it started and ran with no problem but now today it's not starting at all?

    A battery that goes dead and has to be recharged is weakened. If it's already weak it may not work well enough to start the vehicle consistently. A defective battery can cause a number of problems on modern vehicles. Also, you may have some other issue that is overlapping the battery problem.

    You checked resistance to the grounds? The starter isn't blanketed in oil from a leak above it's it? How many amps is the starter pulling? I've visible starters that tested excellent on the bench and then did not have ample force to in reality flip the motor over. Does perhaps the truck have a draw that is probably pulling the battery down when it is shut off, and then when you'd go to it the next time the battery is low. Rather than that I can't believe of a entire lot off the top of my head.
