Title: Battery problems?
Post by GrahamK on 28. Mar 2011 at 13:43

I have a strange problem with my car battery going totally flat. some times it last a few days and starts, at other times after 2 days, not even dash lights!.

Is it simply a buggered battery or could I have a current drain, possibly intermittent, somewhere.
Any ideas?

Regards,

Graham.

Powersounder is a possible cause, the recommended fix is to relocate it to the dustbin

I had teh same... removed power sounder helped, eventually tracked down to the alternator (regulator) repalced with a recon unit - no issues at all now :y
Worth checking as it frustrated me for weeks :-/
