To me, one bane of Volvos is that they start easily if they are well maintained - they make a poor battery look good. One day it is gone without any warning.

My experience with 850s has been poor as far as batteries go, I have replaced 3 in 8 years or so (three cars)

I never replaced a battery in the 700s that we owned for a similar amount of time and many more miles on their clocks.

Why not have your battery tested this fall?
