Battery life


Recommended Posts

Left car for two weeks (13 days actually!) and the battery was flat when I went to start it. Even trying to jump it, wouldn't start for quite a while.

New battery was fitted a couple of months ago.

Rear parking sensor were fitted 3 weeks ago at B&C, but they should only take current when reverse is engaged.

We had a couple of nights of freezing weather, but would have thought a healthy battery would last longer than 2 weeks. How long do they generally last when car is left?

In addition, central locking playing up using the key fob buttons....Any ideas?

Remember the alarm immobiliser will be drawing current and 2 weeks sound about right to me and cold weather makes the problem worse. Put it on a battery conditioner - problem solved

Thanks Stephen.

If 2 weeks is about right, will make sure it is either start it weekly or put it on charge.

Any thought re central locking not working via key buttons?

New batter my needed for the fob would be the first thing to check - or maybe they need reprogrammed after the car battery goes flat? @Bibs is usually helpful with this kind of thing
