Hi guys, the Avensis was dead this morning. As it isn't getting much use I was going to charge the battery this weekend anyway. However, when I jump started it, the charger is showing battery full...am I correct in thinking the battery is probably therefore goosed? It was fitted by Toyota 3 years ago, so age-wise it isn't the youngest.

I thought it might be hard to get one with Covid, but online places seem to have them, RAC best service but expensive, but they will come out same day and Fit premium Varta, 5 year warranty for £130. I can get a no name battery online, but due to delivery issues they can't guarantee an exact date for £68 and fit myself, but a lot of trim appears to need taking off to do it.

Trusty ZT got me to work to deliver what I've done at home, and now I'm furloughed anyway.
