I still have the original Banner 50200 battery and it is 6 years old. Any ideas what is causing the problem?


Could it be a starter solenoid that only sticks when hot?

If so a gentle tap on starter motor with a soft hammer may bring it to life, but you need a second person to help whilst you turn the key.
