My little Ka has encountered another problem. Besides the brake fluid which will be changed soon so the brakes respond better, my battery has problems, I drove it down the drive then back up, just to warm the engine up a bit, then I turned everything off, lights, radio, everything, took the keys out and went inside, this morning I thought, I'd listen to the radio, turned the key once, radio didn't turn on, so I thought I'd turn the ignition on, nope, no lights on the dashboard, tried to start, silence, nothing happening, so I charged the battery, and it works fine now, I'm just weirded out by the fact that its somehow died overnight, it wasn't like, the lights were dim and it makes that strange clicking sound when the battery's weak, it was literally as if it wasn't wired up, I checked to make sure, and it was, it works fine now but I'm worried that it might die again overnight, any help? Will a new battery help or is it wiring issues?

If the battery had issues anyway then it probably needs replacing.

sounds like battery to me also

Are you 100% sure you didnt leave your radio, lights or interior light on? Nip to a fast fit centre and get your battery tested if youre not sure about it.

definitely sounds like a battery issue

A few days ago, I charged it up again, the same day I posted this actually, and I got it Started and running, mum said leave it run for a while, gave it a few revs, about 3000rpm, which made the battery light go on, then I moved it out the way to the back of the house, and it started coming on at, maybe around 1500rpm, then I left it to run for a while, and when I came back, it did overheat which my dad said after he took it for a small spin after it cooled down and topped up again he said that the thermostat and waterpump has gone, but since then, the battery hasn't had any problems since

Onc a battery gprs flat the cells will warp which means it loses all efficiency, the warning light would come on as the charging cycle isn't working properly. Don't be surprised if you need to buy a new battery though!
