Battery replacement
Had some work done on the 2005 x-type. New oil pan, new gasket, new thermostat, and the replaced the battery. Two months later the battery light comes on, two days after that, before I can get it back to the shop, I hear a loud "POP' and I get scared. I park it at the job site and try to crank it. Nothing happens. Dash lights come on but the windows will not roll up. I will take a jump off and I plan to get it to the shop on this Saturday. Question is this. They placed a 790CCA battery instead of the recommended 700CCA battery in the car. Did they just kill my alternator by doing this?
I don't mind paying for a new alternator, but not if they killed it by placing the wrong size battery in it which they charged me for. Feeling upset, but I don't want to be the angry guy who doesn't know that the battery size didn't matter. Help please. Thank you.
