is this a Battery Problem?

You can use a higher CCA battery in the Jazz. It's the max current that it can deliver. The battery will provide the current depending on how much the car is drawing.

if u have a set of multi-meters maybe check for leakage of batter current (A -amperes) to see if something is draining the batter while the car is closed an everything is off

Take it to an auto elec if really keen and they'll have a load tester which can be connected up to your battery to see if its good.

Sometimes older battery may indicat that they're good as in holding over 12v but a crap under load.

As with CCA, you have a Jazz, cant see any problems with any CCA. Lawnmower battery may even start it

From the looks of things i dont believe its a battery problem..

I reckon the battery has been drained before and now it is not holding much charge. Get it properly tested.

thanks guys, i think as first step, will take it to Autobarn and let them battery power. if its good then have to investigate any other possible issue.

otherwise will have to buy new battery.

Don't spend too much and in the end be out of pocket for almost the same amount as a new battery ($90)

i will only go for battery test first and post here its outcome for further suggestion. as battery test is free of cost.

ultra heavy duty battery was quoted $109 by autobar, which sounds good.

I use a sealed ACDelco and my friend uses the Supercharge Gold. Both are $90, the ACDelco is 430CCA and the Supercharge is 450CCA.

[MIRZ]

what made they are?

I use a sealed ACDelco and my friend uses the Supercharge Gold. Both are $90, the ACDelco is 430CCA and the Supercharge is 450CCA.

i mean ACDelco and Supercharge Gold, are they brand names for batteries or made by some other Brand, like Exide or .....

sorry, last time i bouhgt battery in mid 2000 and that was Century Battery (still going good), so i dont know much about battery names.
