In May my car battery died. Our mechanic replace it with an Interstate Battery. All was fine until 2 weeks ago.
My car would not start, My husband had to jump start it. It was ok until yesterday. Put the key in, turn it, nothing but a click sound. Dead battery again. Husband jumped start it again.
late last night, it was dead again.
this morning my husband jumped start it again. What could be causing this?
