Hi All,
Sooooo, I managed to flatten my battery, I think with a few too many short journeys in the recent cold! I’ve had it on a CTEK battery conditioner for a couple of days and have given it a good run (15-20 miles say) but am only really getting a couple of starts at best before the flat issue recurred again (outside school for pick up amusingly, as it did the first time.... sod’s law?).
Question - have I destroyed the battery? Or does it sound more like an alternator issue? Or do I go for a good long drive and see what happens thereafter? Or is the school just located on some weird lay lines that take objection to the world best cars?
I do have a battery jump started pack which is very effective it seems, but would like to nail down the issue one way or another and solve it.
Any advice gratefully received.
Cheers.
James.
