If i leave my car in the garage for more than 2 days the battery dies!!!

Now i just went out to put it on charge and it would not even charge it was flashing from charging to charged/maintaing and making funny noises! Also as it was doing this i could see the light on my alarm dimming up and down!

So disconected the sounds, tv's ect from the battery thinking this may be causing it......Put it on charge and still the same! Disconnect everything of the battery and charge it and it is fine! Something is seriously draining my power

Any idea how to find out what

 

The battery may be shagged!

 

Agree with Spadge - swap it with another and try that before you start panicking

 

is there a light in the boot that comes on then you open it ?
thats what kills sierra battery's as sumhow thay stay on

 

Have a look here for all sorts of suggestions....

Battery Is a brand new one I got as i thought it was the battery to begin with

Not got a boot light!

Cheers Redkop will take a look

 

Any more suggestions

 

Read the topic red posted, willl tell you how to trace it

 

What you posted is very good Damo

But I don't have a ameter Let alone understand this bit....... remove -ve wires from battery bolt them together, then connect meter in series one end on batt other on wires

 

Can you borrow one??

 

Probably But I need it in simpletons terms what to do

 

fletch's brother is good at electrics aint he and not too far either i belive

 

Yeah maybe I will kidnap JB for the day if i can lol His always busy though these days!

 

btw if its every 2 days that sounds a large drain, a interior light wouldnt do that i dont think as it was taking a week for mine

what alarm you got on it and try and diable that first ( though hide it in th garage incase a memeber sees this advice and tows the car away )

 

Its always locked in the garage lol Its a clifford G5 the 650 i think. I was going to try disconecting that but the wire from the Alarm don't go to the battery It seems to go behind the heater box then into the dash behind the clocks area

 

you are going to need a voltage test meter to find the fault.but they can be bought for 5 to 6 quid,try somewhere like woolworths for one.charge the battery and put the black wire from test meter on the negative of battery . red on the positive side. voltage reading should be about 12.7 v. if it stays the same after say 3 mins ,the battery is ok. connect the earth wires to the battery,then connect each wire one at a time to the posative side. checking voltage reading each time.when you connect the circuit that is draining the battery ,the reading on the voltmeter will slowly start to drop. ie 12.6 12.5 12.4 ect. most of the ones ive tested turn out to be the alternator. hope that helps
