| Description of the problem | My 2016 outback about 3 months ago had a dead battery while out on a family trip to arkansas. Just took a battery bump from another vehicle and worked fine. Then this friday it ran fine for five hours away from home. Saturday morning ran several errands with in a 60 mile radius sunday morning started the car, moved it to a different location to make loading luggage easier then got in to go and the battery was dead. Was supplied with a 2amp hour charger and was told that it might take an hours for it to build up enough juice to start. Sat for thirty minutes, hit the key and it fired off just fine. Drove back for five hours stopping and starting with no issues, ran the car by oreilly auto parts and they test battery and said it looked fine and that it was charging good. Backed car in garage and unloaded it and monday morning, it was dead, while hooking my charger up to it i noticed that the battery was warm. Started up just fine with charger on bust, no issues coming to work, keeping my fingers crossed when i go out to lunch. |
