The FTO wouldn't start this morning so I extracted the battery and put it on charge. After 3 minutes it was full, a highly improbable and dubious outcome. Returning the battery to the car confirmed what I had feared - that it's no longer taking charge. It's a stock Halfords Nissan Micra battery and I should've expected it to be crap but when I put it in 6 years ago I really didn't know much better.
*sigh*
Anyhow I'm going to treat the FTO to a nice new high-output battery from Camberly Autos. A proper, branded, Japanese one. |
