Hi all,
In the last weeks I've renewed my accu/battery and fully rebuild my alternator. They we're both bad.
Everything seemed to work fine, till I today tried to start the car (saff 2wd).
The battery was not completely empty, but to low to start the car, after leaving it alone for about 9 days.
I don't think this should be normal.
Can someone give me some pointers on how to check if something's using power, while the car is off/parked?
Any help appreciated.

Just went for a ride, after putting the battery on the quickloader for 30min.
Had a strange incident on the freeway, was driving about 120kmh when the power went completely away, no rev's no dash etc etc.
Found out that one of the plus (+) cables had a bad connection and was burnt, reconnected it and drove home.
Tomorrow I'll get some new cable connectors/eyes and put them back.
Could it be that that bad connection on the battery caused the leak?
