Is it the battery?

Messages

Hi,
Washing the car today with the radio playing, just clicked on with the engine not running.
Radio cut out and when i went to start car would not start..had to get a jump start then go for a long drive.
Stopped and restarted and running alright the now.
Always have the radio playing while washing the car, first time this has happened.
So is the battery on its way out..just a one off or maybe alternator.
Not been on a long drive for a while only to work which is 15 mins.
Thinking about getting the voltage tested on the battery.
Any advise??
Many thanks.
 
Sounds to me very much like a failing battery. They are never the same when they have been run flat either and chances are that will have finished it off. I would go as far as saying it is likely to struggle to start the car in the morning. For 40 odd quid i would get it changed before it lets you down away from home when you need to be somewhere.
