Battery Dead?

Hi sorry to ask for a bit of help

Last few weeks the Kodiaq has seemed reluctant to start, and eventually refused altogether and I worked out the battery was flat. Now I only really do short journeys so I thought it might just need a run, but that wasn't it. I borrowed a charger and it was fine again but then started going a few days later.

I phoned my nearest dealer (and hour away from me) and got the Skoda service I'm now used to recently. Not only do they not have any batteries, but they can only place them on back order as they aren't available to order.

Anyway does anyone know a) should the battery be covered under warranty - if not ill kust get one at quick fit and b) is there any way of proving it's the battery rather than more worrying things like the alternator?

Cheers

Thanks for the replies, hadn't seen that other thread seems like a bit of a common problem then. I'll give the dealer a few days and if they don't get back to me I'll let it run flat and call Skoda assist. I guess I've paid for it so might as well use it! I'm having to charge it up every few days now.
