Time for new battery?

[fabiash]

I Stopped the car for about 5 minutes waiting outside my mates house with the radio and the light on to listen to who the Christmas number 1 was then it was struggling to start and the battery light came on.

Maybe it will sort out my flickering lights problem aswell.

This is the time of year when batteries show there true self. They dont like cold weather.

Any battery that shows poor starting ,especially when the car has been on a journey say of one hour the previous day is duff. Alternators can give about 50 to 90 amps , so one hour driving will fully recharge a GOOD battery, ready for the next time the car is used.

I think it was 'Band Aid' the last time I looked!! On topic tho , my battery just died in an instant when it went , put the car away at night and it was fine , and the next morning it was totally dead.... was 6 yrs old at the time tho so couldnt complain!!
