I have a 2016 CX-5 and today it wouldnt start. Now I did fully wash it and clean the interior, so the doors were open for some time, but really not for an enormous amount of time. I did not have accessories on or the radio. I cleaned all the seats and vacuum it out really good.
Then 2 hours later I go to start it, all electronics come on, including a confusing state of turn signals and wipers (from wiping those stalks earlier), but the car wouldnt complet turning over. When my wife got home from work I was able to jump start it. I let it idle for an hour and then I was able to shut it off and start it.
When it wouldnt turn over, multimeter read 12.08 volts at the terminals. When it was idling, it read almost 13 volts. Now shut off it reads 12.68 volts.
The car is only 2016 model year, and now its 2019- so really is the battery that bad? Ive never had cars where the battery didnt last at least twice that (6 years or even more).
Whats a good battery to get? Is Die Hard a good one? What about Duralast. I just want it to last and work especially with winter coming up. It was 52 degrees today but it will get cold before you know it.
