I took the 2018 zforce 800 to the drive in at the bank.I turned it off to hear the teller
but didn't turn the power off.
I went to start it about 3 minutes later and it wouldn't turn over ....I'm thinking battery.
I had my Daughter and Son n Law come and jump me.
When they jumped me the buggy would start,once the jumper cables were disconnected it would die.
We tried this a few times and same thing.
My son n law seems to think it's the alternator that's gone bad.I think the battery has seen better day's.The brand of battery it it now is YUSA.

A battery with an open cell will act that way. Just have it load tested. Bet it's bad.

I'm on my third battery..and I bought it when in a pinch the day before a trip..got it from Batteries+. Opted for the Duracell..forgot what number but it had a little more CCAs and Ahs the the last bettery which was the direct Yuasa replacement. I remember paying a small fortune at the time but had little choice.  It is an AGM battery though so it will handle the off-road jolts better and it weighs a little less. Thought about going with a Shori LI like I had in my Brute but that one was bumping 300 bucks so I would hate to see what the one for the Z would be ..I think this one was not far form 200...and that was nearly 3 years ago.

Not sure how to chase down the parasitic drain (if one exists) on these yet I keep this handy should I not have the time to chase down a battery. Was skeptical at first yet the restorative mode has got me out of a jam more than once:

Yeah they do an OK job of taking the sulfation off the plates but...can't get it out of the bottom where it falls, builds-up and starts shorting the plates.
