So for my mechanics out there, can a incorrectly installed battery lead to other issues on a car? My car died so I got my battery replaced awesome right? That same day it wouldn’t start I couldn’t even drive it off the lot the mechanic came outside and was stumped trying to figure it out. I kept having the same issues and kept going back. Another mechanic replaced the wires to the battery awesome! I went back again because it still kept happening and just for another mechanic to redo the entire battery because they said it was installed completely wrong. Now three months later my car again is dead and won’t start. I was driving everyday with battery issues for at least 6 months and before I brought my car there I never had any issues at all. My question is can driving with a battery that was installed incorrectly run down my starter and my alternator? I had it towed again to the same shop and I really don’t want them to charge me out the ass for a mistake they made that’s now given me so many issues over the course of a almost a year now. Please help! I have to go talk to them tomorrow. I drive a 2018 Nissan Sentra sv

    If they installed the battery wrong your car would not only not run, it wouldn’t start. So there’s no way possible that they installed the battery wrong and you’ve been driving it all this time. Now it is possible for them to have installed the wrong battery ( if your vehicle requires an AGM battery, and they installed a non AGM battery).
