doorman Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Hi there, I have had 2 new batteries fitted to my galaxy 2.3 in the last 3 months and the battery still goes flat. Sometimes it starts and sometimes it runs flat. The alternator has been checked by 2 different independant companies and it is fine. Could the battery be the wrong amp, or something else. Please help.... It is A ford galaxy 2.3 and on a 52 plate. Thanks in advance Quote
dbc Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Could be an electrical fault else where draining the battery slowly. Car batteries don't like a slow discharge and it can damage them. There's a good description on here some where about measuring the current being drawn from the battery and removing fuses one by one to find a faulty circuit....have a search on posts I've replied to as I commented on it. Was a few weeks ago Quote
