Battery problems?
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
