jebb Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Evening all, advice/help needed with one of those problems that niggle; something seems to be sucking the life out of my battery. Its new but every time I turn off the ignition the battery drains, allbeit slowly; the horn will operate but after about 5 mins it will only 'dink' . Once started the battery charges up fine; idiot lights brighten up etc. Could this be a bad earth? Cheers
Moderator Airhead Posted June 4, 2011 Moderator Posted June 4, 2011 sounds normal to me jebb, mine is like that...they just about toot the horn when fully charged. You could prove it is or is not a leakage by putting a multimeter in series to the battery. Switched to DC Amps or should I say, disconnect the fuse, touch the battery side with the + probe and the other side with the - probe and see if theres a significant current reading.
