      Roadside came and gone.

      Confirmed to be a dead battery. :(

      I’ll need to sort that out tomorrow or the day after.

          I’m not sure since it been awhile. I’d put it somewhere in the 4-7 year range.

              Oh well guess I got lucky but maybe I’m blowing it out since I don’t really remember when I last replaced it.

                Did they check your alternator too (the thing that charges the battery)? Or have you already tried charging the battery manually?

                  Yep. I had the alternator checked as well and that was fine.

        They’re often on sale for 30% off if you have a look around the main car stores.

          Had a look around but I’m not too confident and have little knowledge of car batteries.

          It’ll be ok. I can sort it out tomorrow or the day after, one of my friends is going to help me get sorted.

            The old battery or the manual should outline power required (CCA - cold cranking amps). Supercheap, Autobarn, Repco, Bursons, RACV, will all be able to check what battery suits your car too.

              Thanks.

              RACV will sort me out later in the week.

              I did have a look at Supercheap as all you have to do is enter your rego online and it checks for you.
