I
I am having this problem with my car. Where can I get a good deal on a replacement battery on Dublin's southside?
How much would a garage charge to re charge a battery? I think the car battery chargers for home use are fairrly costly? Am I correct when I say this?
Definite possibility...happened mine. The light was removed, but the ends weren't terminated and caused a flat batteryg
Make sure there is nothing staying on the light in the boot on saloon cars is a common enough problem, stays on a drains the battery and generally you dont notice it.
Same as above really. Contacts not closing means little 5A bulbs on all the time...OK if you use the car every day, but in cold weather, or if you only use it at the weekends, then you're buggered.Check that the glovebox is closing properly. Was stumped when my battery kept on dying only to find that the glovebox was not closing properly therefore the light in it was staying on.
and again. more than likely a wiring fault somewhere....especially on older cars or ones dones with (poorly researched) home maintenance.Are you taking the face of the radio when its parked up? Sister in-law had exact problem with 00 Punto,removing radio face stopped it going flat.
What has the starter motor got to do with the battery charging???I had similar problems with a battery going flat on my car. And despite changing the battery, the new one had the same problems. Finally got it diagnosed as a problem with the starter motor - the battery was charging correctly with the engine running idle (the explanation to me was that anything in excess of 12v from the alternator charges the battery, mine was 13v at idle, but that anything more than 14v is wasted). Anyway, the brushes on the rocker arm of the neutron flow in the starter had reversed polarity (or some such; it was stuffed) and a new starter has been put in. Have you been having problems starting the car? - mine had a 'lag' before the engine turned over and a long start from cold (diesel Skoda Octavia '98).
Just another option...
...I was stupid enough to buy the below battery for €99.99 in a ROI outlet of Halfords, only to find out the exact same item sells for circa €79 across the border
