My cars been standing for a couple of weeks as I've been injured. The battery was flat yesterday (never happened before) so I used jump leads and it all went fine and dandy. Drove it for a bit then brought it home, turned it off. Checked it would start and it did, if maybe a little weak but I had only done a few miles. This morning it was flat again. I guess the battery may need replacing, any thoughts. Everything else is fine, so I don't think the alternator is the problem?? Maybe it just needs running for a bit longer to properly re-charge the battery, or top up the fluid?? Any thoughts?? Dave

Try cleaning up the terminals to see it that helps.

 

My Zed didn't start last week and I had to buy a battery about a week after I bought it, the new battery didn't turn the engine over but I think (because I leave it garaged) that I left the boot open and if not 100% closed, the light will remain on.

 

It's ok now though.
