I have a 2000 Discovery Series II and this morning, out of the blue, I turned the key and got "click, click, click". I tried three or four times. Stopped, was about to call AAA......I gave it one last shot and it started up. The battery was/is the issue because my A/C temp read-out had changed from F to Celsius.
I drive the car 20 minutes to work. Stop, try to restart and "click, click, click,...100% dead. Being that the battery didn't charge up at all after 20 minutes do I also have an alternator problem? Or, could it strictly be the battery? Sorry for such a rookie question, but I'm not a auto guy whatsoever.
If I don't want to go to the dealer.........what are the parameters I should look for in a new battery (cranking amps, etc.)? Please help.
Thanks!
