Hope this is the right forum. I have a Buick Lucerne 2006. I replaced the battery a year ago. Now that it's cold, I'm having problems again. I took the battery to where I bought it (Walmart, unfortunately) and they said it was good. I took the car to my mechanic and he said the battery is bad and the charging system is good.
So I'm stuck with finger-pointing. I'm thinking of getting a new battery from my mechanic (about $200!) just so that if something doesn't work right after that, at least I'm only dealing with one person. Any chance that there's some latent problem in the charging system, say something that's wearing the battery out early by over-charging or something?
