Battery

[Particulate Driver]

My 65 plate dci has had a new battery fitted , just wondering if anyone else has had to have a new battery in their car, after only such a short time?

Ive not seen many reports on here, however over on the QQ forums, which share the same battery, the early models (2014/2015) had a bad batch of Fiamm batteries which got replaced as and when they failed.

Maybe mine was one of them then, thanks Splank . It fits in with what the RAC man told me, when he said that these batteries have got new technology in them, which like all new things, is prone to developing faults. Everything is rushed out these days instead of being properly road tested. My car is the 2015 model.

My dad had his replaced and mine has started with a similar thing. The dealer i use said its very common in these cars
