 Vauxhall Zafira A - 01 1.8 car battery failure modes - percy
Even an AC Delco battery has to give up some time! Zero is probably correct, a high resistance joint has developed somewhere within the casing. The magic eye indicates the specific gravity of the electrolyte, which is fine, but can't tell you about the ability to deliver current. Modern cars appear to draw quite a lot of amps even before you attempt to operate the starter motor. Probably time to re-cycle it (battery, not car!).
