    Wild they missed the battery being on the way out if it was just serviced. Lets hope it was just because it has been colder in the morning more recently

      From my understanding of car batteries, which is not a lot, you should test them after a certain time (I think it’s 24 hrs) because if you’ve driven the car/van it will obviously be charged. I think (again?) if it’s under 12.3 (?) then you need to replace it. I really should listen more.

      Basically you shouldn’t test it until it’s been sitting a while because it’ll give a false reading like tyres do.

      I don’t think the guy I took it too was big on the checking of potential issues like that, I think he just did the basic service items. Or he could just be uncommunicative, it’s hard to tell.
