Three times yesterday we had to jump the van because the battery died or drained. We have no idea when the battery was changed last but it's not an expensive fix at all its faily easy and common with all cars. I know we just got the van fix so now we have spend another $100 for the battery but at leas the van is work so I can't. My husband took it to autozone for the, to do the battery for us.

Have you tried having the alternator checked? When you are running and the battery just drains sometimes the alternator is the culprit since it's not returning the right charge and the battery could still be fine. 100 dollars is quite an expensive fix but nice you got your van running again

In the US a $100 for a fix on the car is cheap we just spend $1.700 on the van because the coolent tank broke off. So this was cheap an not it wasn't the althornates or was the battery it was 7 years old and we got it changed out this morning and the van is doing great. Next we need to do the tires but that's not til July.
