Replacement battery

[Shaz]

I have recently purchased a 2016 plate 1.3 jazz and battery gone flat after being stood for 3 days. Can’t seem to find a replacement battery anywhere. Anybody had this problem ?

Hi Shaz.....welcome to the Forum

Halfords should be able to find you one.

They are usually smaller than most car batteries but still widely available to puchase

Yes, my wife's car has suffered from this problem since being bought new from Swansway Rochdale a couple of years ago.  It frequently goes flat and the garage and the AA rescue service tell me that this is caused by the type of battery fitted to cars with stop-start systems.  We have called out the rescue service at least a dozen times in the past two years.  Go to a battery specialist and if your car has stop-start ensure that the correct replacement is supplied.  Honda apparently know this is a persistent problem but seem unwilling to find a complete solution. Good luck.
