Flat battery

Post Tue Feb 08, 2005 12:38 pm

I am having a problem with my battery. It is a quality Banner battery and only about 6 months old. Last week I tried to start the car and the battery failed. I jumped it and brought it to a garage and it turned out that the altanator wasn't charging the battery fully. I had the altanator changed and it worked for about 2 weeks. This morning the car wouldn't start again, no lights left on or anything like that. What could be draining my battery so heavily?????

Yeah thats what I thought it was as my alarm has been giving me a pain in the ass recently. Any quick fixes, I have already paid 250 euro for a replacement altanator and labour, don't want to pay much more.

sorry yes, there are some basic checks you could do to try and find the fault.
