Occasional Flat Battery
Discussion
My daughter and son-in-law's car, a FORD S MAX DIESEL AUTOMATIC 13 reg, has on several occasions been a non starter due to a flat battery.
A new battery was fitted, and the car has been in the Ford garage for three days where it was checked and given the all clear under guarrantee.
Following the garage visit, after about two weeks the battery was flat again. They do a mix of short and medium type journeys.
There is no pattern to the failures, it can happen after three days or three weeks.
It is the first time that I, or they, have come accross such a problem and several dates and appointments have been lost because of it.
Have any PH members got any ideas for a solution?
Thank you in advance for any tips or advice.
