Urgent! Looking 4 Good place to change car battery on Sunday
clarence:
2nd hand dealer will give you a 1 mth warranty on your car at most.
It is very fishy that a 6 mth old battery bought in Feb 2008 could go flat so soon.
The fastest that I have seen a battery (maintenance free battery) discharge anf go flat was in the 12th month of purchase, and this was for a diesel Citroen Berlingo van. Diesel vehicles tend to consume more battery power as their engines run on high compression.
The dealer could have possibly taken an old battery and simply wrote the date "Feb 2008" on the battery, or your friend could have left her March's head lights turned on overnight on several occasions.
Another high possiblity is a faulty alternator in your friend's March. Do ask her to have her alternator checked.

That's what I'm thinking too... that the dealer might have written the date on the battery. I am quite sure that the headlights are off... since there would be an alarm if the headlights were off. But I'll ask her to get the alternator checked out.

No ICE at all. My friend went overseas and left the car in my care. It was still starting fine on one fine Sunday, but the next Sunday, the car couldn't start up at all...
