My Micra has a flat battery. Its a pretty new battery (less than 3yrs old from KwikFit) with a 4 year guarantee.
Car has been sat idle for a couple of months on my driveway. Got some booster cables and it starts the engine, took it for a brief 5 minute spin (cant go too far as its technically declared SORN) so a few laps around my private garden and then left on idle.
Try to start again the next day and its flat, so I assume the battery is knackered.
The car will be un-SORN within the next few days, so i'll be able to drive it to Kwik-Fit (if I can find my receipt).
Will it definetely be the battery, or is there anything else on the car that can cause the battery to go flat, or not start the car?
Is it an option just to take the battery out and take it to Kwik Fit tomorrow to get sorted? I'd like to get it on the road ASAP so I can get it serviced, washed and sold.
