Need help - quick! The battery of my 2007 Smart Car died so I had it replaced. After replacing the battery, I started the car and drove it to a nearby store to pick up some groceries. When I came back and started it, it wouldn't start any more!

What's wrong with the car? The battery is brand new now! Appreciate any help or info on how to make it run again. Thanks!

The new battery is no good. Sometimes those new batteries can sit on the selves for a year or so. Discharge. Check to see if your leads are clean and tight. If all fails back to the store, where you bought the battery.

could have a bad alternator.
