Did the new battery work at first and then fail or was it no good from installation?
When you say nothing happens is there any click or clicking? Any noise at all?

The battery worked after the installation. AZ didn't check the alternator. Something wierd happened last night. I was leaving work to go home and the car wouldn't start. Everytime I would try, I heard a click sound (this happens in the mornings as well). And suddenly the lights on the display went off, it was like there was no power. So I shook the battery terminals a little and the lights came up on the screen. Then I tried starting the car and the car started.
I am so confused that what is wrong with my car? The battery is new so battery is not a problem. But could it be the cables that connect to the battery terminals? Could it be the starter solenoid? This morning also I had to try for 5 mins to start the car. It happens only when engine is cold.
The cables that connect to battery terminals were not cleaned properly by AZ, should I get it replaced to ruleout that problem? How to check the starter solenoid?
Any advice is highly appreciated. Thanks a lot for replying.
