Put a multi meter on the battery and check the voltage as you turn the truck over. If the voltage drops big time then the battery has collasped (sp).

My wifes new dunnydore did this a couple of weeks ago. I started the car about 20 times thoughtout the day and when I shut it down to refuel the car wouldn't start. No warning just stuffed up then and there. :bad-words:
