is this a Battery Problem?

**MIRZ** · 31-01-2008 08:34 AM

bought a second hand 2003 Vti Jazz about a month ago for wife.

there are no mods at all, very stock car, but only problem so far is that its battery died twice in one month.

once it died when lights left On, and we just dropped young one in kinder, it was only 2-3 mins.

i checked on battery, and it is showing blue ring (as indicator) means battery is in perfect condition.

i m not sure how old is battery.

is it a battery problem? should i buy a bigger battery for this car? any suggestions, thanks.

swap with a known good battery (off a friend etc) and you will answer that question. IF it still happens , look at loose +/- connections etc

connections are fine, have checked them already.

i dont know anyone with Jazz, can i try to connect my Accord CD5 battery to test or it can harm Jazz in some way??

battery places will usually test it for you for free.

when your battery went flat did you get your cvt memory relearned?

Are you sure you didnt leave the interior light on or something?

If the battery is over 3 years old then its usually time to replace it, depending on usage, if its been completely flat before, brand/model, etc..

Considering its a 2003 model, its probably still on its original battery and needing replacement

Panda[cRx] : its a manual car, but every time it happened, it lost its L per 100km data, and it took a while to calsulate it properly.

EuroDude: i think same, most probably it has original battery.

battery in my other car accrod (cd5) is a century battery and its working strong for last 7.5 years.

which one i should buy:
