What Battery do you have on their now? Brand, Amps, Cranking etc?
If this is the only change prior to this issue, I'd say start again with a decent battery or have it exchanged to see what difference is made.

Whilst the C70 isn't the most taxing on batteries, it's certainly not a fan of cheap/basic/under powered batteries.

I always get Bosch S5's from Tanya and they are great performers. The cars certainly prefer this to the Bosch S4 which I think is the default recommendation.

(It is possible to get duff new batteries, had a couple that lasted days from the likes of Motaquip and Lion).
