Hey guys.
Parked the VZ outside last night and wouldn't start this morning. Lights worked. radio didn't lose its pin but lost its memory as it was trying to play the first track over and over. Car didn't even crank over, just heard a clicking sound.
Initially I thought the starter motor or coil was shot, but when I realised the radio lost its memory then I had a feeling it was the battery.
The battery is almost 4 years old; its the original the car had. Does a 4 year life span sound about right?
I'm getting an overnight battery test done at a local mechanic tonight so should know conclusively. Im thinking a Century or Exide as a replacement, any better brands?
