Hi,
I have a 2006 Honda Civic Sedan 37.500 miles, automatic. I had just been up the street and turned the car off when shopping and restarted it with no problems. 10 minutes later I cut off the car to eat lunch (but was using the battery to listen to the radio) and when trying to restart it was only making a clicking sound. The car had only been using the battery for the radio for maybe 10 minutes. I was able to get help and after about 3 try's it was jumped off.
Do I need to have a battery test ran? What are the chances this will happen again randomly? I just want to ensure I am not stranded out some where like I was today. I am not aware of ever having to have a car jumped for no apparent reason like would be needed if the lights were left on.
Thank you!
