bignum Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Could it not be your battery knackered, have you metered what the alternator is kicking out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bignum Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Could just be a dead cell shorting,, you say even with a standalone trickle charger the battery isnt maintaining, all points to battery to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay200bhp Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 its just the smell num massive kind of sulphur smell as well so I wondered what with the battery getting hot if it (alternator) had fried the battery... I was going to sling a new battery and alternator on to try and fix the issue all in one go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
