Peugeot 206 Battery
i broke down the other day and i put the hazard lights on. After about 10minutes with the hazards on i could not start my car as the battery had gone down. The AA guy said that by the time i drive the car it would have recharged.
Will this mean that i need a new battery?

Quite possibly. Only 10 mins with the hazards on is not much to run the battery down unless you've recently done a LOT of short runs with lights / heater / air con on.
When did you last replace the battery or how long have you had the car if you've never replaced it? If it's over three years it might be worth investing in a new battery before the onset of winter and the need for heaters, lights etc.
If you know someone who can check your car over to test for shorts / problems on the electric circuit it may be worth getting them to have a look but if not and you would have to pay a garage to do I would just replace the battery.
