CIPO 0 Posted March 2, 2008 Hey folks need a bitta help here. If the C is left idle for 3-4 days the battery is flat, what makes it even more frustrating is that the battery AND alternator are brand new. OK something maybe draining it but wouldn't it be obvious if it does it that quick. Any ideas??? :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OK something maybe draining it but wouldn't it be obvious if it does it that quick. For a typical car battery to go from fully charged to flat in 3-4 days only requires 600mA current, so that's not hard to believe at all. (The side-lights will draw ~ 2000mA by comparison, so no, it's not something you'd notice at all.) You need to work out which circuit is pulling the current by working your way along the fusebox with a multimeter .. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reggit 0 Posted March 2, 2008 About the time an interior light would flatten the battery, favorite is the light in the boot - check it isn't stuck on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
