Flat Battery !!

trem1 · 10-22-2011, 09:12 AM

Typical isnt it, on holiday from work this week go out this morning, jump in the car turn the key and clik......................flat feckin battery.
Called RAC and sat here waiting for them.
Pretty sure this battery is only a couple of years old so should be still under guarantee, but we'll see

Is definitely a flat battery.... not something else preventing it from starting?

Years ago bosch started doing batteries that came with lifetime warranty, needless to say they soon realised that was a bad business move.
