I had this experience some years ago. If your residential area is cold at night, then that might be a factor. To confirm if cold affects your battery, do this: -as soon as you arrive home and sure you'll not go out with the car anymore for that evening -disconnect the battery and keep it inside the house where cold would not affect it. Then I used empty poultry feed bag to wrap the battery, place it on a plank and not on the bare floor and then covered it with one old cooker. You can use anything in place of the cooler, just something to keep it warm. -Take out in the morning when you're ready to start the car and connect it -Start the car. If it starts, then it's cold that weakens the battery fluid and cell. -if not then you might need to borrow a battery in good state overnight to confirm if there's something else apart from the battery causing the issue. If the borrowed battery stays overnight in the car outside and starts the car then I would want to conclude your battery is due for a change. Type this on google - impact of cold on car battery starting cars engine in the morning |
