FR-S wont start or click... - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So few nights ago i turned my car off and when i went to start it again to leave, it would sputter but then die. It did this about 3 times and then it wouldnt start at all. It wont click or turn over at all. Had my battery tested and its at 95% and all my lights will still turn on. Any ideas as to what the issue could be?

was it load tested or just volt tested?
how old is the battery?
Most of the time it is the battery, if not, it's the alternator.

Dont know what test was done, family member took it to autozone to test while I was working & battery is 2 years old at least, bought it used so dont know the exact date on it. Wish I knew more about it

There is a manufacturer date on it. I would borrow a battery from another car and see how it starts. Chances are it is the battery. Your car is a 2013, sold in 2012, 4 years(if it is original battery) is already pushing it. Cold weather can kill a battery.
