Hi, I have a 2011 Suzuki swift and the other day while out I'd taken my lunch break in my car and had had the radio on. When I went to start my car the lights on the dash went on as normal but it wouldn't turn over. There was still some power as I could still operate the windows. Tried a few more times, called AA, man came hooked up leads, said battery ok. I started and was fine. However next day again same thing, but after waiting it started, noticing sluggish starts since and am worried to be stranded as I use car to get to my jobs. Do I need a new battery? Should I get the AA battery call out back, and am okay to buy one.

Hi there,
Yes definately get your battery tested and replaced if necessary, it seems to not be maintaining charge.
