Having just made an 1 1/2 hr round trip to jump start the wife's car then another 30 minutes getting a new battery and swapping it out, I'm thinking maybe someone on here can answer a question that's bugged me off and on for a while.
Years ago, when the battery in one of my cars would start getting to its last leg, you could tell. You had some warning, usually some hard starting. In the past 5 to 10 years, every one of my vehicles has had a battery go without much warning. Driving the car, everything's fine. Come out an hour later and it's done. Again, a variety of cars. Now, most of these batteries have been at the end of their year rating, but there's just no warning anymore.
So... did they change up how they make batteries? Is it the cars themselves with the newer starting circuits that don't give you that telltale hard start when the battery gets weak?
I'm leaning towards the newer cars (made in the last 15 years). My tractors seem to give some warning.
