liam1 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 went to take the car out of my lock up its been in there since last October, usually I remove the battery and charge it up before i take it out of the garage, this year i was lazy and jump started it, anyway 100 yards down the road and it packed up tried jumping it but no luck, got a new battery put that on got home no problems, next day car wont start, charged up the new battery over night when i put the battery on car only just started left it running didn't drive it as i was busy, this morning its flat again.

Digsy Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 It'll be the alternator. Don't put any more new batteries on it until its checked out or you will just knacker them. Lead acid batteries don't like being run completely flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
