I know that the battery has a reputation for being ****... However. I last drove the car on 30th Dec. It was a 250 mile journey. Car has been in the garage until today, when I try and start it, and its flat. Surely they arent meant to be that bad, and its new battery time?
While on the subject... A friend recently bought a new battery for his car, a V8 Holden, from somewhere weird, a place that specialises in caravan batteries (!????!) But he swears by it, saying its way better and has better cranking power, turns over the engine a lot quicker on startup.
Any dangers if I buy such a battery? All i really want is one with maximum life before it goes flat while car unused?
