I need some guidance. Yesterday I was driving around doing chores did a couple of stops to shop without a problem. Went to the local supermarket and spent 10 mins in there came out to a dead battery. Got a jump start, drove it home, took 5 mins and turned it off. Tried it and car would not start.
Battery is only a couple of weeks old so will try and claim on warranty. Is there anything within the car systems that can kill the battery in such a sudden way? There was no battery light lit so no internal indication that the alternator was on the blink.
Also what checks do I need to run to eliminate the car from this equation? I have had a sudden battery failure many years ago so I know it can happen, just want to be sure before claiming under the warranty.
