    Check out the battery site that Pedro posted and get the specs for your specific battery and this should give you some idea of just how much of the battery’s total power is REALLY available for use.

    I don't believe I have flattened it, however when on the CSR the Engel wasn't lasting overnight which I expected it to do so, so I left it off overnight.

    I had the battery checked a couple of months ago and the water had dropped below what it should have, the battery was only around 5 months old at that stage. The reason I had it checked was that there was a message on the D3 radio screen most mornings "Battery Low" and I did a check on the voltage which showed around 11. something volts. That message has now returned, perhaps as Pedro says I have a dud.

    OK time to try to rule out some potential problems.

    I have not done the CSR so can you give me an idea of the speeds you most likely averaged and what was the outside temperatures during the day.

    Next, do you have any non standard accessories added to your CRANKING battery.

    When not on trips, what sort of daily milage do you do.

    Cheers

    Hi Richard, have a look on the D3UK site, there’s a thread on battery failures.

    Don’t know if it’s relevant but might answer some of your probs.

    Cheers
