Hello all, my friend and I bought a car battery at the same day. But unfortunately after one year my car battery is dead, but my friend's car battery is working well. How can that happen? Can you suggest an online place for to purchase a replacement battery with affordable prices.

if the battery is a year old and dead and will not charge it should be under warranty and should not cost you anything to replace it if you take it back where you bought it.
