yeah but even if something is drawing current it has to be drawing a serious amount of current for it to completely run a battery flat while driving ?? | |

Unless there's something drawing current, a fully charged battery will be able to get you around, as said, for a good couple of hours before running out. | |

So the battery isn't taking a charge? That sounds like a fucked battery to me mate. Just because it started the car doesn't mean it's a good battery. Obviously I don't know for sure but that's what I'd say from what you've said. | |

It must be the battery, I used to have to charge mine in the house when I was having trouble with the fan belt. It would last a good couple of hours, and that was with an old battery. | |

rite my car is realy starting to annoy me now. its the later coilpack redtop with multi v alternator, had it all up and running in the drive ran for over a hour. i took it out on the road got 3 mile and then it cut out and would restart.... the battery was dead. i got it home charged the battery up and got it running again and checked the charging at the battery and the alternator both said 14.6v without load and 14.2 with load on. |
