It has been playing up a bit recently i.,e i am having to jump start the vehicle sometimes if its left for a couple of days. It isnt sealed so i took out the vent plugs and looking at the visible top edge of the plates, they are not straight/interleaved. The top edges of all the plates are visibly rippled. The vehicle operates in a stop start environment so it might go through maybe 10 stop start cycles per day. Do we think its knack'd ? It hasnt lasted long !
The general consensus is that batteries in vehicles fitted with stop/start, have a life expectancy of 3-4 years.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”
