Battery Problem

Featured Replies

If I leave the car for a couple of days without starting the battery is flat as a pancake.

Not enough juice to open the doors or light the dashboard.

The battery is a new Varta Silver and I fully recharge it on a battery charger when it is flat.

I have measured the charge @ 14-ish volts.

I measured the current use settling around 0.1-0.3amp once all the doors locked, lights turned off etc

The only changes I have made electrically are led sidelights/number plates, headunit and a parrot handsfree.

I dropped the back seats and the bootlight bulb was off and the doorlights are not on.

I am slightly stumped as what to check next, any ideas would be appreciated.

try taking the fuse out from the headunit / parrot etc.

300mA is a lot of current draw, won't take long for that to flatten the battery.

I read a couple of things about the parrot but that is usually because it stays on, mine beeps and turns off (lights go out)

The headunit is a face off so no face no power.

But if one of them has a fault it might be possible, I just didn't want to lose either, but I'm gonna have to do it lol
