Got a funny issue with the battery on my wifes Honda Jazz. A couple of months ago it wouldn't start, flat battery. I jumped it from mine and it started fine. Not sure how it became discharged.
It was ok for a couple of months then this morning it won't start again. I popped home from work and when I tried it it started first time. My wife said she tried loads of times and it would barely turn.
I checked the Volts with the engine running and it was 14.3 - 14.5 V so it is charging ok.
Is the battery on its way out? The car is only 4.5 years old, seems a bit young for the battery to go. I still have the original battery in my Audi and its 10 years old and has to churn over a V6 every morning.
The only other thing I could see is a small amount of corrision on the earth battery clamp, but not much.
