Battery Died!!!

shifting · 10-10-2006, 11:07 PM

My battery was died this morning, after a jump start, the engine started again normally.... Really dunno what caused it. The weather is warm here, and the battery is only 6 month old. Is it possible that something else caused it?

i know you will of checked... any internal lights left on?

It could be a doddgy battery... see how it is in the morning and take it from there.... have you managed to get a few miles done today to charge it back up??

Also you battery will have 12 or 24 months warrenty, so it occurs again take it back and try with a new one...

You could also monitor the voltage in the battery before starting it in the morning to see if and how much its dropped over night??
