Default Dead vehicle

I got a new battery put into my 2015 Range Rover Sport on 6/3/19. I went to start it yesterday and the battery is dead. The RRS does not do a thing. When they replaced the battery they said everything else was good, including the Alternator. Any idea on what can be going on?

Two things. One, there are two batteries in an RRS, did they replace the one that powers the engine or the one that is mostly for the auto-start/stop feature?

Second. A really good investment is to buy a battery charger and every once in a while pop it on to recharge the main battery. These RRs love a fully charged battery and you'd be surprised the kind of discharge that occurs after a month or so. I charge up both my RRS and Disco every 3-4 weeks and very rarely have to replace batteries. Most batteries that get thrown out as mistakingly dead are perfectly good and just need a charge.

I recommend this charger here >>>

Default I didn’t Know

I didn’t not realize there were two batteries. I had the battery in the back replaced, that starts the engine. I was thinking about getting a charger, not that you’ve recommended one might be a good investment. But I wouldn’t think a battery that was replaced a week ago would be dead. Thank you for the advise
