I got the new battery for free as a replacement, but it was suggested that a drop as low as 3.5volts would be indicative of damage to the battery by overcharging or overdraining and that the warranty should not technically apply.

I put a new battery on Saturday morning. Last night it was 12.6, this morning it was still 12.6…. I’ve not used it all day and it’s still 12.6. The old battery shouldn’t have dropped to 3.5v so quickly, the battery was only 12months old

Hi folks, My 1.6diesel greenline would not start the other day, after sitting for 72hours the battery (less than 12months old) was at a meagre 3.5volts! Parasitic draw was the RAC suggested culprit, my tests however show a normal draw of 0.03A Has anybody any ideas what could have caused such a dramatic battery depletion? Thanks in advance Matty
