Hey guys, I've started having battery issues with my car.
Same battery has been in it since date of manufacture in 05', but at the moment whenever I come out to my car and start it after it sitting there for several hours / overnight, it's having trouble kicking over. I have made sure that stereo, aircon, lights etc are all off and still has trouble, but eventually kicks over. When I go for a drive and then turn it off/turn it back on again after a short while, it's fine, or if when I have had trouble starting it, I start it up again and it kicks over no worries. I checked the terminals and scrubbed em down to make sure they were contacting ok.
I am wondering if this is battery related or alternator related? Reason being I mention alternator is that I have a sub/amp all running off the battery aswel, but I wouldn't have thought that it would matter considering I don't use these when the car is off, so wouldn't draw the power. Is there any way to check if it's one of the 2? Any suggestions greatly appreciated
