New Battery, would you ? was created by happypig
I've not driven for about 3 weeks due to tearing my ankle ligaments. Got in it today to go round the shop and the battery hadn't got enough oomph to start it, barely turned it over. I can jump start it off the wife's car but I'm wondering if the best long-term solution is to get a new battery ?

3 weeks isn't that long. If I had a battery that didn't start up the little beast after 6 weeks of being dormant I'd be concerned. Of course, the cold weather could have taken a strain.

I'd charge it up and see how it goes. You might be lucky. Worth a try before shelling out for a new one.

Is the is fluid topped up in the cells? Mine was almost dry and I wondered why it would go flat!

Mine would be flat in 3 weeks. I have a solar charger permanently connected when parked, and it still needs a go with the optimate every couple of weeks if it doesn't get used.

One of the problems of an alarm system and a teenie weenie battery.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)
