Battery

[Josh-VTR]

Keeps dying, I haven't left anything on and my battery has died 2 or 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Is it likely to be the battery or altenator?

Get a garage or possibly a parts supplier (I know my local parts supplier has one) to do a droptest on the battery. Most places will do it for free. If it all checks out okay, could indicate a problem with the alternator.

You needa multimeter to measure what charge the battery has.
With the engine off it should be just over 12v
with the engine running but no radio,lights etc on it should be around 14
and with all the electrics on around 12.

Is it a sealed maintance free battery?
Or one you can top the water up in?

[Josh-VTR]

It's sealed. This morning I used a battery charger to charge it and was fully charged within 15 minutes?

Id say its dropped a cell.
Get down millfield they will test it for you.
