Change of battery

[MartinJG]

Battery could not turnover the starter this evening so either a duff alternator or the battery has expired. Was charging OK at the service 1.10.26 but the colder weather has probably knocked it. The battery is a Yuasa and is @ 9 years old. I know these little Jazz batteries have a shorter life. Will check the voltage etc tomorrow. I checked the procedure and it seems quite straightforward with no ECU onboard computer things to worry about. Assuming the battery needs replacing, are there any complications like pin codes etc? Thanks.

The radio will need the pin entering if the battery is disconnected for a few minutes.

And 9 years is good going for a car battery.

Battery was barely holding 5amps. Glad it was not the alternator. Replaced the battery with a Yuasa 5000. Size of the battery still makes me chuckle. All good and working just fine now .
