Hi, the last two times I’ve been on holiday and left my car at the airport the battery has been flat on my return. It is fine all year long until it is left for a week. I’ve had the car to Halfords a few days ago and they struggled to get a reading on their machine. First they connected under the bonnet and got a fault, then we removed the battery cover and they did it again. Not actually
Sure if the test was carried out correctly but the result was 540cca and they told me therefore the battery was good. Do you think this is correct and do any of you have a suggestion please? It is a S3 013 Bosch Car Battery 12V 90Ah Type 019 S3013 and is 3.5 years old on a 2007 Xc90.
Thanks in advance everyone, you’ve always been helpful before.
