Battery keeps Going FLAT!!!

Hi, anyone got any ideas why my battery keeps draining over night on my valver? Battery has been tested and is ok!!

mine kept on going flat so i got another one and was ok

There could be a wire shorting out somewhere and draining your battery. Or it could be your altenator that is goosed. Check all of your earth straps/leads.
Electrical faults are a nightmare to find and sort. Ther is something sapping the power from your battery somewhere. (who checked the battery and what with?)

A B Butt in Leicester checked it as the battery is only 4 months old. can't tell you what the checked it with?

mine goes if left for longer than a week... does my head in, battery was replaced last time it happened (a year ago). Came back from hols saturday and the thing was flat, proper flat. Wouldn't even jump start driving down a hill.

Checked my battery with booster and it's fine.

Like Jim says, they're a pain to trace elec' faults

try the alternator ?

Dont run the car on AA's then

Odd question but how fast do the windows go up and down? lol normally first sign in a valver of the alternator going is slow windows!

If alternator is fine then have a look at this:

guide for testing for current drain ie if something in your car is draining the battery when ignition is off.

mine was only charging intermittantly, and often kicked the warning light on... eventually it just went. I thought it was the battery, but turned out it was the positive wiring to the alternator had all charred and broke free from the alternator casing.

The AA had reconnected it for me and was off again
