If it took 2 days to charge fully sounds as if there is something is wrong ?? When was it last replaced ??
If you need to replace the battery and get a new one it is as well to buy a battery conditioner as well as it trickle charges the battery when not in use. Starts on the button 1st time, every time then and you don't have to waste 2 days waiting to drive it

The battery has a 4 year warranty and is about 2 years old.
Its only done about 400 miles in 2 years.
I have a conditioner but cant get the car in the garage for Pedal Bikes, Electric Jeep and Electric quad. Scooters etc ( the kids now own the Garage)

I've had my battery for about 12 years. I have fitted a cutoff switch behind my seat and always turn it
off after use. I find it holds its charge without any problem, even when I go abroad for three months
each year. The car always starts at the first touch. From time to time (like once every two years) I put
it on trickle charge just to be sure.
I also have a car abroad and disconnect the battery on returning to France. It sits for 9 months
and again no problems when I reconnect.
