2012 Civic
Bitterly cold temperatures. Car won't start. Tried to jump start it and it failed. Won't turn over. Kirkland battery was installed three months ago (manufacture date 08/16).
So I took out the battery to inspect it only to discover the sides are bulging a little bit. I know this is not normal. I load tested it and failed. What would be the cause of this? Is it a defect in the battery or is the cause of the bulging related to the alternator?
