Battery issues

[jsy-r]

Slightly confussed with this one,

My car battery went flat due to lack of use so I removed it from the car and charged it. I managed to borrowed a decent charger which also indicates the power left in the battery before charging.

The indicator is saying fully charged and the battery has a faint green light on the top but when put in the car it still acts like a flat battery and the car will not start. It turns but after a couple of goes dies again!!

I am pretty sure its not the starter as if I jump start the car it fires first time.

I went for a drive for an hour to chager it a bit but 2-3 days later the same happened.

Do you think I might have a electric issue?

Thanks for any help

Nope battery is Knackered. It is classic dead battery syndrome. Get the battery changed.

Yep like Al says its knackered. Once they've been completely flattened they've had it.

i agree its the battery mate, classic symptoms as the lads have said! you need to get a new one mate!

Well I put it back in the car for another try and it fired straight up! Been driving around all day with no issue so I might give in a week to see how I get on.

Thanks for the help guys

In my experience it'll go flat again very easily.
