Battery / Electrical Problems
Hi guys,
This morning my MY17 Superb had a flat battery. The car wouldn't start at all. The Maxidot said the battery is low on charge.
When I chekced the battery, it was hot!
I called NRMA roadside assistance, the battery specialist showed up, jump started the car, and left his device connect to the battery for 5 minutes, to see if it will charge properly. The battery got really hot and started fuming. (I couldn't tell where the fumes are comimg, either from the battery or somewhere behind the battery but very close).
He said the battery is diffective, and asked me not to drive as it could ignite (or explode).
I have put the car on a flatbed and dropped ot at the dealership.
What could cause this? Is it just a faulty battery?
