Battery Drain after a 65 mile drive!
« on: January 25, 2018, 10:43:51 am »
Hi there, wonder if anyone on here as experienced the same problem as me, recently did a 65 mike drive (so battery should be pretty much fully charged), pulled over to check something for 15/20 mins with the engine off but radio on. Go to start the car and no luck, couldn’t believe it as I’ve done simular things before and never ran the battery flat. Managed to get a push and bump start it to put it on charge when I got home, took charge for 20 mins then drove to Halfords the next day to get the battery and alternator tested, the guy said they were both good and to check the earths, so just seeing if anyone’s had a simular problem in the past, wasn’t hoping just to change the battery and be done with it as I know it’s atleast 4 years old, but don’t wanna change it for the sake of it! Thanks
